Sliding model within its rail thanks to rollers mounted on ball bearings.

Compensation is achieved using powerful, compact gas springs to minimize the bridge's overall size.

When at rest, the loading bridge is locked in the vertical position with a safety latch. It is unlocked with a foot pedal, and the operator uses a handle or chain for deployment.

To select a GBAV-type aluminum loading bridge, it is necessary to know the height difference between the dock and the truck, which must be compatible with the available height differences (see the table for minimum and maximum dimensions).

The EN1398 standard recommends a bridge width at least 700 mm greater than the width of the truck.

The bridge must be installed in a rail, which is supplied separately.

To secure the weld-on rail, a downward-sloping vertical metal section of 140 or 160 mm is required at the platform nose, depending on the configuration.

It can be installed in a shallow pit at the building's facade or embedded in a recess behind the building's doors.

This improves operator safety and protects the bridge.
