Advanced technologies provide quick, smooth, and safe transitions by adjusting for height
variances between the loading bay and the vehicle.

Gandhi Automations Pvt. Ltd. holds the esteemed position of being India’s top company in Entrance Automation and Loading Bay Equipment. This distinguished recognition has been earned through years of hard work, innovation, a steadfast commitment to quality, and reliable customer service. The company takes pride in its certifications to ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018, further attesting to its dedication to excellence.

Since its inception in 1996, Gandhi Automations has been engaged in the manufacturing, importing, distribution, and installation of problem-free and user-friendly products. The company offers comprehensive logistics solutions, encompassing dock levelers, dock shelters, sectional overhead doors, and dock houses, catering to diverse customer needs.

The electro-hydraulic dock levelers provided by Gandhi Automations serve as more than just a means of connecting vehicles to loading bays. These advanced solutions facilitate fast, smooth, and safe transitions by compensating for height differences between the loading bay and the vehicle. This not only helps minimise energy consumption but also leads to cost savings on heating and cooling, thereby preserving the integrity of transported goods. Designed under the demanding EN 1398 standards, Gandhi Automations’ dock levelers are engineered to meet the requirements of the most challenging loading and unloading operations.

Efficient loading and unloading of the goods:

The importance of efficient loading of goods has always been evident, and it has increased over the years, essentially for two reasons: the lesser availability and the higher cost of manpower. Consequently, less qualified manpower is being utilised, which leads to damage to the goods.

The cost of loading and unloading the goods can be calculated precisely and is exactly definable, which allows for a scientific approach to finding out the investment that goes into the process. Gandhi Automations has always designed solutions based on a scientific approach and feedback from clients. The dock levelers offered by the company ensure loading and unloading with less effort and minimal cost.

It is possible to load and unload your products in a safe way and, in the process, obtain remarkable energy savings. The dock leveler remains with the loading bay in the rest position and the sectional overhead door closed until the vehicle is positioned. The driver drives back, centering towards the dock shelter, and stops the vehicle the moment it gets in contact with the bumpers.

The sectional overhead door is then opened only when the vehicle is positioned, brakes are applied, and the engine is shut off. This eliminates the exit of hot air, the intake of cold air (or the opposite in hot areas and inside conditioned places), and the intake of exhausting gases in the warehouse. After the sectional overhead door opens, the lip of the dock leveler connects to the truck bed for loading and unloading to take place.

At the end of the loading or unloading, the dock leveler is put in the rest position and the sectional overhead door is closed without moving the vehicle. The vehicle then departs at the end of the process. Following are the two types of dock levelers:

Radius Lip Dock Levelers

Radius Lip Dock Levelers are available in multiple sizes and capacities. It allows the dock to connect with the truck bed, thus making it convenient to drive directly on and off with forklift trucks, etc. Also, the self-cleaning lip-hinge system does not retain dust and dirt, which allows a smooth operation.

Telescopic Lip Dock Levelers

Telescopic lip dock levelers are ideal for connecting vehicles unable to drive near docks, i.e., sea containers, sideloading railway waggons, etc. These dock levelers can be supplied with a lip extending up to 1 m.

Edge-of-Dock Levelers

The Edge-of-Dock Leveler is developed in compliance with the latest European safety standard, EN 1398. It has a capacity of 6000kg and is suitable for use with all types of material handling equipment.

Forklift Roll-Off Barrier Lip Dock Levelers

The newly introduced product, Forklift Roll-Off Barrier Lip Dock Leveler, adds run-off protection that prevents accidental forklift roll-off when the Overhead door is open and no trailer is stationed at the dock. These dock levelers are designed and built to provide all the benefits of the hydraulic dock leveler along with the additional benefit of providing a formidable barrier.

Gandhi Automation’s dock levelers are equipped with the most secure safety devices and accessories.
