2.1 Intended use
The dock leveller is used exclusively for loading and
unloading vehicles. The dock leveller bridges differ-
ences in height (maximum permissible angle of inclin-
ation according to EN 1398: 12.5 %, i.e. approx. 7°)
as well as distances between the loading area of the
vehicle and the loading ramp. Always observe the
maximum angle of inclination suitable for the respect-
ive means of transport used (forklift trucks) when
loading and unloading.
2.2 Foreseeable misuse
Any use other than described in chapter Intended use
is regarded as reasonably foreseeable misuse. This
includes but is not limited to:
• a load on the dock leveller that is higher than the
nominal load indicated on the rating plate of the
dock leveller
• driving on the dock leveller with vehicles whose
track width is larger than the nominal width of the
dock leveller minus 700 mm
• any kind of lifting or lowering of loads
• passenger transportation
• exceeding the permissible traversing speed (see
technical data)
• placing the dock leveller on the truck tail lift rather
than on the loading area
• driving the truck away before the dock leveller is
brought into its resting position
Any damage or injury as a result of reasonably fore-
seeable misuse and / or of not following the assembly
and operating instructions will render the manufac-
turer's liability null and void.
