A high-volume paper packaging and corrugated board manufacturing plant required a specialized heavy-duty unloading solution inside a flat, ground-level warehouse facility. The facility lacked elevated loading docks (no 1.2-meter dock platforms), forcing workers to unload cargo freight trucks manually or deploy hazardous, steep mobile yard ramps. Incoming freight consists of heavy 2-axle and 3-axle stake-bed trucks carrying palletized corrugated sheets weighing up to 30,000 kg gross vehicle weight. The plant required an in-floor elevator capable of sinking the entire truck into a pit until the rear bed rests flush with the warehouse slab.

To eliminate yard ramp bottlenecks and enable horizontal material transfer, the Gradin engineering team engineered a high-tonnage Flush-Floor Truck Unloading Lift. The system features a Multi-Cylinder Tandem Scissor Assembly supporting an ultra-rigid Heavy-Duty I-Beam Reinforced Deck. The equipment was manufactured in strict compliance with the EN 1570-1 Safety Standard for heavy industrial lift tables . Factory logistics directors integrated this Gradin truck leveler alongside our portfolio of custom heavy-duty vehicle scissor lifts to establish direct ground-level forklift dockless unloading.
