Crawford CombiDOCK
Leveller for both lorries and vans

Application
The electro-hydraulic CombiDOCK is a dock leveller specially and thereby reduces building costs. It is advisable to equip every
designed for applications where vehicles with large variations in frequent loading area with at least one CombiDOCK so that
size and design use the same bay for loading and unloading. The vehicles of all sizes can he efficiently handled. The Combi-
CombiDOCK eliminates the need for different ramp heights DOCK copes with all user demands.

www.crawforddoor.com
Versatility is the key word
Proven telescopic technology combined with width flexibility
Compensation for varying forces on the leveller platform
Ergonomics and
reduced wear and tear
The telescopic lip can be supplied in steel or
high-stability aluminium alloy. The latter
is extremely flat, resulting in smoother
passages between leveller and truck bed
giving ergonomic as well as economical
advantages due to reduced chock loads
for people and less wear and tear on the
handling equipment.
Horizontally
at eye level with the vehicle bed!
Loading and unloading vehicles with beds
considerable higher or lower than the
ramp floor can sometimes be difficult.
As an option, the CombiDOCK can be
equipped with a front section operating in
parallel with the bed of the vehicle. This
facilitates operations from the forklift
drivers eye level and gives the forks a better
operating angle.
Lorry or van just turn the switch!
Simply set the selection switch and the
relevant automation program is started.
When set on Small Lorries, leveller
lip side tongues are retracted and the width
is reduced by 1000 mm. At the same time,
the down-force of the leveller platform
is reduced by a hydraulic unit. Just use
the selector switch for return to standard
lorry performance.
Time losses
eliminated at inaccurate dock-ins!
Should the vehicle not be accurately docked
to the loading ramp, the telescopic lip will
still bridge the distance between bed and
ramp. The same goes for a situation where
the bed is utilised to the last centimetre
the telescopic lip will connect with the small
space left and safely bridge the distance.
No time consuming vehicle manouvres
are necessary.
Automatic adjustment
to vehicle bed movements during
loading and unloading
Vehicles sink and rise during loading and
unloading. A special safety control sys-
tem ensures that the leveller automatically
follows the vertical movements of the
vehicle bed. Should the bed move hori-
zontally, the same automatic system keeps
the lip against the bed, facilitating safe
and smooth passages. Automatic lips reduce the wight

Crawford IsoDOCK
For temperature controlled premises

Application
Frozen and fresh food products must reach the customers in during loading and unloading. The IsoDOCK has been de-
carefully pre-determined condition. Unbroken temperature signed to cope with such demands. This insulated docking sys-

side of a cold storage facility might create costly energy losses

10www.crawforddoor.com
Up to 75% energy savings
Guaranteed cooling chain for food
Environmentally friendly docking system
Thermal separation
gives low energy costs
Unlike conventional docking systems,
the IsoDOCK leveller is placed behind
a well insulated sectional door. It is also
hermetically sealed off from below, pre
venting cold or hot air access.
Tail lift access during dock-in
The IsoDOCK design permits lowered
vehicle tail lifts to enter below the con-
struction an important detail in inter-
rupted loading and unloading processes.
Lorry impact forces
absorbed by the building floor
Contrary to most insulated docking sys-
tems, the IsoDOCK is designed in such a
way that impact forces from docking ve-
hicles are absorbed by the building floor.
The frost-proof foundation is separated
from the building floor just by a gap for
housing the sectional door not as a sep-
arate building construction. Complicated
building arrangements can be avoided.
Instant installation!
The IsoDOCK is delivered as a pre-
mounted, ready-to-install unit includ-
ing the bottom insulation panel. The unit
is simply lifted into the prepared pit.
Choose between
manual or electrical door operation
The IsoDOCK unique design allows the
sectional door to be smaller than usu-
al since it does not have to reach ground
floor level. This means that the door,
if preferred, can be manually operated.
Scientifically proved energy savings
Studies made by the Institute of Thermo
dynamics at Hanover University show that
IsoDOCK, compared to conventional
docking systems, creates energy savings
of up to 75 percent corresponding to
the annual average energy cost of a de-
tached house!
