The Amber Doors team recently installed a dock leveller for
the Bridgestone/DHL Coventry Depot. After removing an existing suspended
leveller, we replaced this with a new swing lip dock leveller. In addition to
installing a new leveller, we also provided a steel cradle for it to sit in.
Swing lip dock levellers are widely used as they are extremely well suited to most docking situations. They are ideally suited to situations when trailers are reversed onto a loading bay to be loaded through the rear doors. This is particularly beneficial in docking areas where space is limited.

To suit our customer’s requirements, the new dock leveller that we installed has the following specifications:
- 6 tonne capacity
- Swing lip
- Hydraulic operation
- Linked with the existing door
- Dimensions: 2000mm x 2500mm x 400mm
At Amber Doors, we provide a standard lip size of 430mm as
this will suit most trailers, however, we can supply a larger lip if necessary,
in order to service up to 300mm above or below the level of the dock. We are committed to ensuring
that our customer’s loading bays are efficient and safe and as a result can
provide various models to suit any loading bay.
Whilst we supply a wide variety of dock leveller solutions,
our main product features are as follows:
