Shandong Lansheng Intelligent Equipment Dock Levelers: Empowering Multi-Scenario Loading and Unloading Upgrades with Customization Strength
In the loading and unloading links of modern logistics and industrial production, dock levelers, as core equipment connecting trucks and warehouse platforms, their stability, adaptability, and efficiency directly affect enterprise operational costs and turnover speed. Shandong Lansheng Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd. has specialized in the hydraulic lifting equipment field for years, relying on the core advantages of "direct supply from source manufacturer, customized adaptation, and cost-effective guarantee". Its fixed and mobile dock levelers have been widely used in e-commerce warehousing, manufacturing workshops, cross-border logistics and other scenarios, witnessing the revolutionary improvement of equipment on loading and unloading efficiency through real cases.
E-commerce Warehousing Scenario: Efficiency Breakthrough During Double 11 Peak Period
A large e-commerce regional distribution center in North China is responsible for goods distribution in five surrounding provinces. With the annual growth of business volume, the center faces two major pain points: first, the low efficiency of traditional manual loading and unloading, which takes more than 2 hours to unload a single vehicle, leading to frequent goods backlogs during peak seasons; second, the diverse types of trucks and fixed platform height result in a goods damage rate of up to 3% during manual handling, putting double pressure on labor and loss costs. In early 2024, the center learned about the source manufacturer advantages of Shandong Lansheng Intelligent Equipment through the 1688 platform. After on-site inspection of the production line and load testing, it purchased 8 customized fixed dock levelers.
To meet the needs of high-frequency loading and unloading and multi-vehicle adaptation in e-commerce warehousing, the Shandong Lansheng team provided a full-process solution: free on-site survey in the early stage, setting the adjustment range of the dock leveler to 1.0-1.8 meters according to the platform height and common truck sizes, adapting to more than 90% of freight vehicle types; the core structure adopts a 5-beam reinforced design and military-grade manganese steel frame to ensure long-term stable operation under a single load of 10 tons; the platform is paved with anti-skid diamond mesh with a friction coefficient ≥ 0.8, which can effectively prevent forklift slipping even during rainy days, significantly reducing the goods damage rate.
After the equipment was put into use, the loading and unloading efficiency of the distribution center achieved a qualitative leap: the unloading time per vehicle was reduced from 2 hours to 25 minutes, and the daily average loading and unloading volume increased from 40 vehicles to 86 vehicles, an efficiency improvement of 115%. During the 2024 Double 11 peak period, 8 dock levelers operated at full load continuously for 72 hours without any failures, helping the center handle an order volume increase of 82% year-on-year, saving 120,000 yuan in labor costs per month, and reducing the goods damage rate to below 0.3%. "Lansheng's dock levelers save us from hiring temporary workers at high prices during peak seasons. The equipment is sturdy and durable, and the after-sales response is fast, which fully withstood the peak pressure," commented the equipment director of the center.
Cross-border Logistics Scenario: Customized Adaptation to Complex Overseas Needs
A Shandong cross-border logistics enterprise specializes in the collection and distribution of China-Europe Railway Express goods. Its warehouse in Qingdao Free Trade Zone needs to frequently handle the loading and unloading connection between containers and trucks of different specifications. Moreover, some goods need to be exported to low-temperature regions such as Russia, putting strict requirements on the weather resistance and adaptability of the equipment. The previously used ordinary dock levelers often experienced hydraulic system failures in low-temperature environments due to insufficient sealing performance, and could not meet the special loading and unloading height requirements of containers, seriously affecting cross-border transportation timeliness.
In 2023, the enterprise chose to cooperate with Shandong Lansheng Intelligent Equipment and customized 6 cold-resistant mobile dock levelers. Targeting the particularity of cross-border logistics, the Lansheng team made three core upgrades: first, adopting customized -40℃ ultra-low temperature sealing strips and low-temperature resistant hydraulic oil to ensure the normal startup and operation of the equipment in extreme environments; second, optimizing the traction device and 650 pneumatic tires to facilitate flexible movement of the equipment in the warehouse, adapting to different loading and unloading positions of containers and ordinary trucks; third, adding hydraulic support rods and warning reinforced guardrails to improve operational safety and meet international logistics safety standards.
After the customized dock levelers were put into use, the problem of low-temperature failures was completely solved. The equipment operated continuously for 5,000 hours without failures, and the failure rate dropped to zero. The enterprise's daily average container loading and unloading volume increased from 35 boxes to 58 boxes, an efficiency improvement of 66%, and the cross-border goods turnover time was shortened by 1-2 days, effectively reducing the risk of railway express delays. At the same time, the direct supply model from the source manufacturer eliminated intermediate links, reducing the equipment procurement cost by 15% compared with similar products. In addition, it enjoys lifelong maintenance services, and subsequent spare parts replacement can be completed within 48 hours, greatly reducing operation and maintenance costs. Currently, the enterprise has placed an additional order for 4 sets of the same equipment for the expansion of the new warehouse. 
Manufacturing Scenario: Seamless Connection Between Workshop and Trucks
A Jinan auto parts manufacturing enterprise has a 100-meter interval between its production workshop and raw material warehouse, requiring daily high-frequency loading and unloading of raw material inbound and finished product outbound. The previously used simple dock levelers had problems such as narrow platforms and slow lifting speed. Forklifts needed to operate cautiously, affecting the production rhythm. Moreover, the equipment's outriggers were inconvenient to adjust, making it impossible to quickly adapt to raw material transport vehicles of different heights.
To solve the efficiency bottleneck in the production process, the enterprise chose the three-section mobile dock levelers from Shandong Lansheng Intelligent Equipment. The core advantages of this product perfectly match the needs of the manufacturing industry: the platform width reaches 2.2 meters, meeting the two-way traffic needs of forklifts; it is equipped with an efficient hydraulic system, enabling fast and stable lifting actions, taking only 30 seconds from the lowest to the highest position; the height-adjustable outriggers combined with galvanized chain connection structure can quickly adjust the level to adapt to the ground conditions of different areas in the workshop. In addition, the equipment adopts a spray coating process, which effectively resists corrosion from oil pollution and humid environments in the workshop, extending its service life.
Since it was put into use in June 2023, the enterprise's raw material inbound time has been reduced by 40%, and the finished product outbound efficiency has been improved by 35%. The safety of forklift operations has been significantly enhanced, with no operational accidents. "It used to take 10 minutes to adjust the dock leveler when changing vehicle types, but now it can be done in a few minutes, and the workshop production rhythm has obviously accelerated," said the workshop director. He also noted that the durability of Lansheng's dock levelers exceeded expectations. After more than a year of high-frequency use, the platform has no deformation, and the hydraulic system has no leakage, resulting in extremely low maintenance costs.
From efficiency breakthroughs in e-commerce warehousing to weather-resistant adaptation in cross-border logistics, and seamless connection in manufacturing production, the dock leveler cases of Shandong Lansheng Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd. confirm the core value of "real scene orientation + customized R&D + source quality guarantee".
