Technical evaluation

What decides the specification

These questions are worked through with you before any equipment is proposed. The answers are recorded so the specification can be audited later.

  1. 01

    What vehicle mix arrives?

    Trailer bed heights, container types and vehicle frequency determine leveller travel range and ramp specification.

  2. 02

    How do pedestrians and trucks interact?

    Segregation, sightlines and crossing points are designed together with barriers and traffic control, not added afterwards.

  3. 03

    What is the yard surface and gradient?

    Approach gradient and surface condition affect ramp choice, truck selection and safe loading practice.

Documentation

Figures we confirm from manufacturer sources

We do not publish capacities, dimensions or performance data on this website, because those figures are only meaningful for a specific configuration. For a quoted configuration, we supply the manufacturer's own documentation alongside our proposal.
