Typically used when lower vehicles need raising to operate safely on existing loading bays, preventing the need to replace existing
loading dock equipment, or carry out expensive civil works.
Thorworld s Steel Heavy Duty wheel Risers are designed to be fixed in position, for use with larger vehicles such as HGV s.
The combination of some loading bays used with certain types of vehicle can also cause a slope of the trailer back to the loading bay which is not ideal when loading, and can also lead to excessive rain ingress inside the building.
Standard units are 17,250Kg capacity per riser.
We also recommended the use of our wheel alignment guides for correct alignment on the risers every time.
Typical lead-on incline is 7 degrees; check for sufficient under clearance.
