From the manual loading bridge to the electric version
Switch to electric assistance without replacing your existing system
The FLASH DOCK retrofit allows you to convert a manual FLASHDOCK loading dock into an electric-assisted version without completely replacing the existing system.
• Simple installation, no major construction work required
• Immediate improvements in comfort, safety, and performance
Smart technology integrated into the loading dock
This innovation relies on controlling the electric cylinder via an electronic control unit.
• The aluminum plate lowers and raises automatically
• The loading ramp height adjusts to the vehicle’s height with a simple press of the control unit
• The plate movements are synchronized with the door opening, the dock leveler, a vehicle presence sensor, and visual and audible indicators on the dock (optional)
• The two-color flashing lights add an extra layer of safety by visually alerting operators (optional)
Frequently Asked Questions - Electric-powered loading ramp
A loading ramp is a piece of equipment installed on a loading dock that connects the dock to the bed of a trailer or truck. Its primary function is to bridge the height and space difference between these two surfaces, enabling the smooth and safe transfer of goods.
It is particularly useful for facilitating material handling operations, especially with equipment such as pallet jacks or stackers. Thanks to the loading ramp, loading and unloading can take place without a change in level, which improves both the speed and safety of logistics operations.
Depending on requirements, a loading ramp can vary in size and load capacity.
The FLASH DOCK is a new-generation electrically powered loading dock. It comes as a complete, ready-to-install package and does not require a complex hydraulic system. It offers a simpler, safer, and more ergonomic solution than traditional systems.
Yes, it is designed as an integrated “all-in-one” system. It comes with all the necessary components (aluminum plate, housing, electric actuator, control box, etc.), allowing for quick installation without major construction work or significant modifications to the building.
Yes, thanks to the FLASH DOCK retrofit solution. It allows you to convert a manual loading dock into an electrically powered version without having to completely replace the existing system.
The system is controlled by an electronic control unit that operates an electric actuator. The plate automatically positions itself and adjusts to the vehicle's height with a simple press of the control unit.
It significantly improves workplace ergonomics by eliminating manual handling. This reduces physical strain and minimizes the risk of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs).
