Shandong Lansheng Intelligent Dock Levelers Shipped in Bulk, Precisely Adapting to Loading and Unloading Needs Across Industries

Against the backdrop of the continuous expansion of China's logistics equipment market, Lansheng Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd., located in Jinan, Shandong Province, has recently ushered in a peak shipping period. After strict quality inspection, 15 customized dock levelers were shipped in batches via dedicated logistics lines to an e-commerce warehouse center in East China, a manufacturing base in North China, and a cold chain park in Southwest China, covering the full range of fixed and mobile products. As an important member of the Shandong dock leveler industry cluster, this shipment not only demonstrates the enterprise's ability to quickly respond to market demands but also reflects the transformation trend of China's equipment manufacturing industry towards "precise adaptation, high efficiency, and reliability".

The production strength of Shandong Lansheng Intelligent Equipment is rooted in the regional industrial accumulation and standardized manufacturing system. Leveraging Jinan's technical heritage as the "birthplace of national hydraulic elevators", the company has built an 8,000-square-meter production workshop, equipped with more than 30 sets of production equipment such as CNC cutting and precision welding machines, forming a full-process production line from core component processing to complete machine assembly. "We focus on the R&D and production of dock levelers with a load capacity of 6-20 tons, with an annual production capacity of approximately 800 units, of which mobile products account for 60%," introduced the company's production director. The 10 units of 12-ton mobile dock levelers recently shipped to the East China e-commerce warehouse are designed to address the high truck flow and frequent loading/unloading during e-commerce promotion periods. They adopt 8mm anti-slip mesh platforms and high-precision wear-resistant oil cylinders produced in Jinan to ensure stability and safety during forklift operations.

Customization capability stands out as a highlight of this shipment. To meet the specific needs of an automotive parts manufacturer in North China, the company specially developed 3 units of 15-ton fixed dock levelers, expanding the adjustable height range to 200-600mm to adapt to transport vehicles of different tonnages. Additionally, infrared early warning devices were installed to automatically trigger alarms when personnel accidentally enter the operation area. Before leaving the factory, these devices all underwent a 48-hour full-load test, with the precision error of core components controlled within ±0.1mm, and passed the inspection and certification of a third-party authoritative institution. "It only took 25 days from demand communication to production and delivery, which is 10% shorter than the industry average cycle," said the logistics director of the manufacturing enterprise. After the new equipment was put into use, the loading/unloading time per vehicle was reduced from 28 minutes to 12 minutes, and the daily number of processed vehicles increased from 120 to 210.

The balance between technological upgrading and cost control has enabled the products to gain recognition across multiple industries. The 2 units of mobile dock levelers shipped to the Southwest cold chain park adopt a low-temperature resistant hydraulic system and a sealed bridge design, which can operate continuously at -25°C, with the temperature fluctuation in the carriage controlled within 4°C during loading/unloading, meeting the strict temperature control requirements of cold chain logistics. Meanwhile, the equipment is equipped with a hand-operated hydraulic pump power system, enabling height adjustment without external power supply. Combined with high-pressure double-layer steel mesh rubber hoses produced by Shenyang Rubber No.4 Factory, it not only reduces energy consumption but also extends the service life, lowering the comprehensive maintenance cost by 25% compared with traditional products. Data shows that the repurchase rate of Lansheng's intelligent dock levelers reaches 35%, with customers covering logistics, manufacturing, cold chain, and other fields, and the market share in East China exceeding 45%.

Policy dividends and service systems drive the growth of shipment volume. Benefiting from Shandong Province's special subsidy policy for the purchase of high-efficiency loading and unloading equipment, the company has assisted 12 customers in applying for subsidies this year, driving a 20% growth in orders. In terms of logistics and distribution, relying on Jinan's advantages as a transportation hub, regular products can be shipped within 5-7 days after ordering, and the delivery cycle for customized products is controlled within 30 days. At the same time, cooperation has been established with 3 large logistics enterprises to ensure the safety protection of equipment during transportation. In after-sales service, the company has formed a professional team of 8 members, providing 24-hour response services including free installation and commissioning, operator training, and regular inspections. The equipment warranty period is as long as 18 months, with a customer satisfaction rate of over 92%.

"The core of competition in the current dock leveler market has shifted from price to 'product adaptability + service timeliness'," pointed out an industry analyst. With the advancement of logistics industry standardization, enterprises with customized production capabilities and sound service networks will have greater advantages. Lansheng Intelligent Equipment has launched the construction of the second-phase production line, planning to add a lightweight material R&D laboratory and focus on overcoming new energy power integration technologies. It is expected that the annual production capacity will increase to 1,200 units after commissioning. This bulk shipment not only demonstrates the enterprise's production strength but also marks a solid step forward for the Shandong dock leveler industry in accurately meeting market demands and promoting cost reduction and efficiency improvement in logistics, injecting equipment momentum into the high-quality development of the real economy.
