The problem

Dock levellers in logistics are exposed to extreme loads. The entire flow of goods, which is otherwise distributed throughout the entire hall, comes together here. In addition, there are extreme temperature differences between inside and outside and the fact that different materials come together, in most cases steel and concrete. Vibrations that occur when driving over and impacts caused by approaching trucks do the rest.

Steel rails on joint constructions or around scales that cannot be removed due to their size cause similar problems. This leads to increased outbreaks at the transition. This results in wear and tear on pallet trucks, longer loading times and costs for falling goods.

The solution

As the loads at the transitions cannot be reduced, only a flexible construction can permanently absorb the vibrations and temperature fluctuations. The Quiflex^® Liquident coupling is installed directly on site according to your requirements. Thanks to the adaptable construction and its permanently tough-elastic properties, repairs at the transitions are a thing of the past.
