Loading Systems
Hydraulic levelers bridge the height difference between building and vehicle; dock shelters are designed to cover the surrounding gap at warehouses and logistics sites.
Loading systems: a passage between vehicle and warehouse
NORMDOCK by Alkur offers hydraulic levelers and dock shelters for warehouse and logistics loading points. A leveler bridges the height difference between the floor and vehicle bed. A shelter is intended to surround the trailer and shield the loading area from outdoor weather. The combined result depends on vehicle dimensions, opening and installation layout.
How to choose the right loading solution
The decisive criteria are: vehicle type and variety, dynamic load requirement, platform height difference, lip type and dock-shelter needs. NORMDOCK offers two main products:
- Dock leveler — a hydraulic platform that bridges the height difference between the warehouse floor and the vehicle bed
- Dock shelter — a structure intended to surround the trailer and shield the loading area from outdoor weather
To determine the most suitable capacity and configuration for your facility’s loading scenario together, you can request a quotation by sharing your pit dimensions and dispatch details.

Frequently Asked Questions
Below we've compiled the most common questions and answers regarding this product.
-
What determines the price of a dock leveler?
The cost is driven by the platform dimensions, the dynamic load requirement, the lip type, whether a dock shelter is needed and the installation conditions. As each facility's loading point differs, it is calculated per project. For a precise quote you can share your pit dimensions and request a project-specific quotation.
-
What is a dock leveler and how does it work?
A dock leveler is a hydraulic platform bridging the height difference between the warehouse floor and vehicle bed. The reviewed NORMDOCK specifications describe hinged and telescopic lip movement separately; the suitable model is selected for the vehicle and pit dimensions.
-
How are 6,000 kg dynamic and 9,000 kg static loads assessed?
The reviewed hinged and telescopic leveler specifications distinguish 6,000 kg dynamic from 9,000 kg static load; these are not two alternative moving-load ratings. Forklift unladen weight, carried load and operating conditions are assessed against the proposed leveler’s dynamic capacity.
-
What is a dock shelter for?
The NORMDOCK shelter specification describes the purpose of surrounding a vehicle trailer to protect products and personnel in the loading area from outdoor weather. Combining a shelter with a leveler does not establish complete air, water or thermal sealing of the loading point; vehicle and opening fit are assessed for the project.
-
How do hinged, telescopic and multi-flap lips differ?
A hinged flap rotates out; a telescopic lip extends forwards. The brochure lists a single flap or three flaps (1+2) as hinged-type options. Flap count does not establish telescopic movement or a vehicle-height range; vehicle and lip compatibility are confirmed for the project.
