5.1
Safety instructions for operation
The dock leveller is designed to mitigate to the
greatest possible extent the risk of anyone operating
or standing near the door being crushed, cut, clipped
or otherwise injured. To ensure a safe operation of
the dock leveller, the following points must yet be ob-
served:
•
If you notice damages endangering the
operational safety of the dock leveller, the dock
leveller must be inspected by an expert or a
qualified person and may not be used until the
repair work has been completed.
•
Only instructed persons are allowed to operate
the dock leveller. All operators must be familiar
with the applicable safety regulations.
•
Comply with the accident prevention regulations
and general safety regulations relevant to the
field of application.
•
The operator of the dock leveller must ensure
sufficient lighting at the workplace.
•
Regularly check the loading ramp for obvious
defects and have defects rectified immediately.
•
Operating the dock leveller is only permissible at
temperatures between -20 °C and +40 °C.
•
Do not load the dock leveller with cargo
exceeding the specified nominal load.
•
Driving on the dock leveller is only allowed if the
permissible slope of 12.5 % (7°) is observed.
Orange markings on the dock leveller platform
and additionally on the wall of the installation
point for dock levellers with a nominal length
of 2000 mm indicate that the permissible
inclination range is no longer met. Also observe
the permissible incline for the operation of the
forklift truck used.
•
The dock leveller platform may only be placed on
the truck loading area, not on a vehicle lifting
platform.
•
The permissible track width of the forklift truck
used must be 700 mm less than the nominal
width of the dock leveller (e.g. nominal width =
2000 mm → industrial truck width maximum
1300 mm).
•
Only move the vehicle to be loaded or unloaded
when the dock leveller is in its resting position.
•
The hinged lip width must be in the range of
80 mm to 130 mm. The entire width of the hinged
lip has to be placed on the truck.
