Shandong Lansheng Intelligent Equipment Dock Levelers: Empowering Efficient Operation of Building Materials Warehousing and Emergency Logistics
In special fields such as building materials warehousing and emergency logistics, dock levelers need to address multiple challenges including heavy goods, complex sites, and emergency scheduling. With years of experience in the industry, Shandong Lansheng Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd. has customized and developed special heavy-duty building materials dock levelers and emergency mobile dock levelers to meet the personalized needs of different scenarios. Relying on the product advantages of "strong load-bearing capacity, high flexibility, and fast response", it has successfully solved loading and unloading problems for many customers, interpreting the core value of customized equipment through real cases.
Building Materials Warehousing Scenario: Safe and Efficient Loading/Unloading Solutions for Heavy Goods
A large Zibo building materials enterprise specializes in the warehousing and distribution of heavy building materials such as cement, ceramic tiles, and steel bars. Its warehousing center needs to handle a large number of 20-30 ton heavy goods loading and unloading daily. Previously used ordinary dock levelers had obvious shortcomings: insufficient platform load-bearing capacity, prone to sinking and deformation when facing heavy goods such as steel bars and cement piles; narrow platform width, making it difficult for large building materials pallet forklifts to pass, taking more than 2 hours to load/unload a single vehicle and posing safety risks; weak corrosion resistance, leading to rapid wear of parts in the dusty and humid environment of building materials warehousing and high maintenance costs. In March 2023, recommended by old customers, the enterprise cooperated with Shandong Lansheng and purchased 9 heavy-duty customized fixed dock levelers.
Targeting the heavy-load loading and unloading needs of the building materials industry, Shandong Lansheng carried out special optimized designs: using military-grade manganese steel frame and 10-beam reinforced structure, increasing the rated load-bearing capacity of the equipment to 30 tons, far exceeding the industry's conventional standards, ensuring stable and non-deformable platform during heavy goods loading and unloading; expanding the platform width to 2.5 meters and length to 4 meters, meeting the two-way traffic needs of large building materials forklifts, and effectively preventing goods from slipping with anti-skid and wear-resistant special patterned plates; adopting sandblasting derusting + double-layer anti-corrosion spraying technology on the equipment surface to resist erosion from dusty and humid environments, extending the service life of parts by 50%; equipping the hydraulic system with a large-flow pump station, increasing the lifting speed by 40%, taking only 25 seconds from the lowest to the highest position, greatly shortening the docking time.
After the equipment was put into use, the loading/unloading efficiency and safety of the building materials enterprise achieved dual improvement: the loading/unloading time per vehicle was reduced from 2 hours to 50 minutes, and the daily average loading/unloading volume increased from 28 vehicles to 55 vehicles, an efficiency improvement of 96%; the platform was stable without shaking when heavy forklifts passed, and no goods slipping or equipment failure accidents occurred; the equipment maintenance cycle was extended from 3 months to 8 months, saving 60,000 yuan in annual maintenance costs. "Our goods are all heavy loads. The previous equipment always made us nervous. Lansheng's dock levelers are sturdy and durable with high loading/unloading efficiency, completely solving our worries," said the manager of the enterprise's warehousing department. Currently, these equipment have been operating stably for one and a half years and still maintain a zero failure record.
Emergency Logistics Scenario: Flexible Loading/Unloading Guarantee for Rapid Deployment
A Shandong emergency rescue material reserve center is responsible for material scheduling in response to sudden incidents such as natural disasters and public health emergencies in the province, placing extremely high requirements on the flexibility and rapid deployment capability of loading and unloading equipment. Previously used fixed dock levelers at the center had obvious limitations: immovable, only usable at fixed platforms, and unable to be used in temporarily built material distribution centers or field rescue scenarios; complex installation, unable to be quickly put into use in emergency situations, affecting material scheduling timeliness. In the first half of 2024, the center chose to cooperate with Shandong Lansheng and customized 6 emergency-specific mobile dock levelers.
To meet the rapid response needs of emergency scenarios, Shandong Lansheng created a lightweight and highly flexible customized solution: adopting a modular design, the equipment weight is 30% lighter than conventional mobile dock levelers, equipped with a detachable traction device that can be pulled by ordinary pickup trucks, and on-site deployment can be completed by 2 people in 15 minutes; expanding the height adjustment range to 0.6-2.2 meters, adapting to various emergency transport vehicles such as trucks, vans, and flatbed trucks, and quickly leveling through adjustable outriggers even in uneven field sites; adopting manual + electric dual-power mode, enabling manual lifting operation in power-free environments to ensure uninterrupted operation in emergency situations; using anti-collision design for key parts of the equipment, equipped with emergency lighting and warning lights to improve operational safety in night or complex environments.
In the summer of 2024, when the reserve center responded to the rainstorm disaster in southern Shandong, these emergency dock levelers played a key role: in the temporary material distribution center without fixed platforms, 6 units were quickly deployed to achieve efficient loading and unloading of rescue materials. The loading/unloading time of a single batch of materials was reduced from 3 hours to 1 hour, ensuring that rescue materials were delivered to the disaster area in a timely manner; in the field power outage environment, the manual operation mode ran stably without any failures. "Emergency rescue is a race against time. Lansheng's emergency dock levelers are fast to deploy, flexible to operate, and stable in performance, winning valuable rescue time for us," said the person in charge of the center. The excellent performance of the equipment provides reliable guarantee for emergency logistics, and Shandong Lansheng has been listed as a core supplier.
From heavy-load bearing in building materials warehousing to rapid deployment in emergency logistics, Shandong Lansheng Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd. has always focused on customers' real pain points, breaking the limitations of general-purpose equipment through customized R&D. With professional on-site surveys, personalized solution design, strict quality inspections, and efficient after-sales responses, the company provides full-life cycle services for customers in different industries. Its dock leveler products have passed multiple industry certifications and accumulated a good reputation in the market for their ability to adapt to complex working conditions and stable and reliable performance. In the future, Lansheng Intelligent Equipment will continue to deepen segmented scenarios, make continuous innovations in lightweight design and intelligent control, and provide customized solutions for loading and unloading upgrades in more industries.
