Key Benefits

Premium safety and security

Loading docks are a high-traffic area with a variety of safety issues. To help you minimise the risk of injury and lost time, Nordock® Barrier™ is designed with a focus on the safety of your staff:

  • Stay-Put safety barrier lip prevents accidental fall-offs in stored position.
  • Fall protection velocity fuse “locks” the dock leveller in case of a free fall and prevents injuries and damage to goods and equipment.
  • Full-range telescoping side guards (toe guards) eliminate pinch points where employees’ feet risk catching as the dock leveller moves down.
  • Push-button operation prevents back, shoulder and neck injuries.
  • Lip supports prevent illegal entry when the door is closed.

Reduced maintenance costs

All Nordock® hydraulic dock levellers feature patented designs and require less regular service, adjustment or replacement than competitors’ products.

  • High 33% deck-to-beam weld ratio prevents breakage (surpassing the industry standard by 15-20%)
  • Full-width rear hinge to withstand heavy use
  • Consistently placed 4″ welds on both sides of every hinge for superior centre deck support
  • Self-cleaning open lug design to allow debris to fall through without damaging the equipment

Improved processes

The gap and the height difference between the truck bed and the dock or warehouse floor may cause staff injuries and forklift damage. With Nordock® Barrier™ hydraulic dock leveller, you ensure smooth transition from the truck bed to the dock in reduced time. Its patented, open-frame, design makes pit cleaning easy.
