On The Level: Edge Of Dock Levellers In Detail

‘Sitting at the edge of the dock’ isn’t quite a 1967 Otis Redding classic but edge of dock levellers offer a viable, not to mention economical, solution to the problems of loose bridging plates and the cost of inbuilt electro-hydraulic units.

The obvious questions are those concerning what edge of dock levellers do. The answers are simple enough. First, you need something to establish a strong, smooth path along which loading and unloading can be carried out. The loading dock is one part of this path, the lorry’s bed is another; edge of dock levellers bridge the gap between the two.

How do these items work? A spring-assisted plate with a hinged lip comes into play after the lorry has been reversed in, square and central to the dock. In fact, the leveller has buffers to facilitate this accurate positioning. An operating lever, mounted in a sleeve between the lip plate and buffer, is pulled upwards and backwards. This causes the lip to rise higher than the vehicle’s load bed. Moving the lever forward extends the plate, allowing it to rest on the vehicle’s bed. The same lever is used for decoupling before the lorry moves off.

Knowing how an edge of dock leveller works is interesting but it doesn’t tell us what such a device can handle. To say one can handle everything from a roll cage to a forklift truck goes without saying. However, looking in more detail at a representative specification reveals much, if not all.

Typically, edge of dock levellers can cope with roll over loads of 9,000kg. The extendable lip can stand 317mm proud of the face of the buffers and the quickly and easily positioned plate can be both engaged and parked when a vehicle is already docked. It’s usual for such a leveller to accommodate lorry bed heights within 100mm of the loading bank. The steel chequer surface plate has a chamfered lip to make for seamless transition between the dock and the lorry bed, and maintenance is child’s play. Normally, all that’s needed is occasional lubrication of the edge of dock leveller’s hinge tubes.

Compared to alternative dock-levelling equipment, edge of dock levellers have a great deal to recommend them. Conventional pit-mounted levellers require installation space and a pit; the former may not be available and the latter is invariably expensive. There’s also the matter of complication and the consequently extended installation time. As we all know, time is money and time spent installing hardware is also downtime for the loading bay concerned.

Can edge of dock levellers be described in a word? Not quite but they can be described in no more than three words. Which are? How about unobtrusive, economical and efficient? The bottom line is inextricably linked with the final word here. Making a more than adequately specified, safe, smooth load path for the goods you have to handle is hardly rocket science, nor need the task be overly complicated and therefore expensive. This elegantly simple solution offers an efficient means of achieving a loading dock that is itself efficient and therefore productive.

Arizona Truck Auctions: Buying & Selling

Are you thinking about buying a used truck at an Arizona truck auction? This article is designed to provide you with the details on how auto auctions work and how they can get you the best deal on a great used truck. Specifics may vary from auction to auction; however, the following information includes helpful and important guidelines from which everyone can benefit.

Arizona truck auctions are one of the best places to pick up a used truck, especially high end luxury trucks at a fraction of its original retail price. Have you ever pulled up next to a fully loaded Escalade at a stop light, glanced over and noticed that the driver is barely out of high school? How could they possibly afford the truck payment on that kind of ride? Well, they probably purchased the vehicle at an Arizona truck auction and got a great deal.

If you have ever dreamed about owning a high-end luxury truck or a customized vehicle loaded with aftermarket parts and accessories, you’ve probably done just that - dreamed about it. Paying retail price for a truck like that can put a huge dent in your wallet or your savings account. However, you can get a truck like that for much less.

There are many different kinds of Arizona truck auctions, but two of the most popular happen to be police confiscated auto auctions and government surplus auto auctions.

Police confiscated auto auctions feature trucks that have been seized due to asset forfeiture in addition to surplus vehicles that have been used by the local police department. Police truck auctions are one of the best places to pick up a used truck. Many people think that the only vehicles available at police truck auctions are actual police trucks. Well, they’re right - but only partially!

Government auto auctions get their supply from criminals. When someone is convicted of a crime, like drug trafficking, the government can seize their assets, including their vehicle. Bad for the criminals but good for you! Government seized automobiles are usually luxury vehicles - BMW, Cadillac, Mercedes, Infiniti, Lexus - and sometimes you may even come across and exotic import! Not many people can afford a truck like this, but it’s possible if you attend an Arizona truck auction.

Government auto auctions may also feature their own surplus vehicles, or those no longer needed. These can be passenger vehicles, decoy trucks, heavy equipment or even motorcycles, bicycles and ATVs. Other trucks featured at government auctions are retired fleet vehicles. These kinds of automobiles are replaced regularly by their respective agencies and are usually domestic trucks with high mileage that have been meticulously maintained. You are much more likely to receive vehicle history with a government-owned and operated vehicle than you are a seized vehicle. Keep this in mind if vehicle history is important to you. However most vehicles can have a carfax report run to check on any potential ownership problems or maintenance issues.

Please remember: Inspecting trucks being sold at a police seized truck auction is a must! Trucks sold at police seized auctions are sold ‘As-Is’ with no warranty or guarantee unless still under manufacturers warranty. In an ‘As-Is’ auction, there is no warranty on the merchandise and the bidder is responsible for removal from the auction location. This means that the bidder must rely on their own inspection and knowledge to make bidding decisions. Some auction houses, however, allow bidder to bring their own mechanic for vehicle inspections.

Regardless of the frequency of an Arizona truck auction, you can usually find the event in the local newspaper or published on an online auction site that works with the police departments in your area. The advertisement or listing will give the date, time and place of the auction as well as a synopses of the trucks that will be auctioned off. They may also give a date in which interested parties are invited to inspect the trucks so that they can make decisions about what to buy and how much to spend.

If you’re in the market for a good deal on a used truck, it’s definitely worth your time to see what’s available at your next Arizona truck auction.

Choose Your Suitable Truck Rear Window

There are also two types of truck rear windows, with their own advantages and disadvantages. Solid truck rear windows are better in terms of climate control in winter, retaining heat better than sliding rear windows. Sliding rear windows provide better ventilation, which all but eliminates the need to use air conditioning during the summer. Solid truck rear windows provide uninterrupted lines.

For a vehicle with advertising or any sort of print on the truck rear window, this is important. A sliding rear window inevitably has tracks and weatherstripping, interrupting the smooth flow of glass. Each particular type of truck rear windows has assets to recommend it, as well as things that may prove problematic for some drivers.

Staying Comfortable is Important

Some people wonder how a sliding rear window can be anything but a problem in the winter. And while it is true that sliding rear windows allow more heat to leave the truck than solid truck rear windows, the difference is not as large as most people believe. Sliding rear windows are designed to operate efficiently in any climate, from hot and dry to torrential rain or bitter cold.

Multiple layers of weatherstripping, as well as overlaps in glass panes to allow for barriers between the inside and outside of a cabin, make sliding rear windows far better at maintaining the desired temperature than some expect. Anywhere where overlaps are not possible, or are impractical, sliding rear window latches use clamping designs to produce tight seals.

The vast majority of sliding rear windows were manually operated until the last decade, and the manufacture of replacement parts for powered sliding rear windows is still developing to satisfy full demands, but almost every powered sliding rear window now has replacement motors, gears, and switches available, though smaller and more difficult to install parts are not yet offered by the majority of manufacturers of sliding rear windows.

Many people inquire about the possibility of replacing single panels in sliding rear windows when the panel is shattered or chipped. The replacement of any panel, with the rare exception of the sliding panel, in a sliding rear window is almost impossible. When a frame is formed and the glass is installed, the frame of the sliding rear window is not yet sealed.

Replacing a piece of glass in a sealed frame is impossible without bending the frame to allow insertion, in which case even if the frame of the sliding rear window were bent to the exact original position, the stress on the metal will cause problems in the future. For this reason, any damage to the glass of a sliding rear window necessitates total replacement of the window.

Ford Ranger, Small Truck For Big Jobs

First coming on the scene in 1983, the Ford Ranger was Ford’s choice to replace the Ford Courier. The Courier was a Mazda product that carried Ford’s branding. Since 1983, the Ranger has been produced each model year and remains one of Ford’s popular vehicles among sales, although sales have dropped in recent years.

Since the Ranger is a small size truck, the bed of the truck is also smaller. Ford, however wanted to solve a problem with other small size trucks of the day. The problem was that the small trucks could not carry a standard size 4 by 8 sheet of plywood in their beds. In order to solve this problem, Ford made the beds large enough that the sheets would fit inside, although, the wheel wells were still too close for the sheets to lie flat.

A look at the cab of the ranger will show you that it is truly only a two passenger vehicle, although some models were sold with fold down jump seats behind the front seats. These jump seats, really would only be acceptable for children and then on short trips and not a long road trip. The jump seats, however do allow the Ranger to be classified as a four passenger vehicle, and the bed allows for four foot material.

Ford has sold untold numbers of these trucks in the over 25 years that they have been produced. The models have had major revisions at least four tines, reflecting the changes in the larger F-series trucks. Ranger continues to copy the body size of the F-series trucks in smaller sizes.

The Ranger’s smaller size allows for better fuel economy making the Ranger a popular choice among consumers. The Ranger allows them to drive a truck to work but still have great gas mileage.

Currently the Ranger offers the choice of two engine sizes. There is a smaller 2. 3 liter engine and a larger 4. 0 liter engine. The V-6 engine offered in earlier models is no longer being sold.

When the Ranger was first introduced, it was one of many small trucks being sold. Today, the Ranger, along with its Mazda counter part is the only small truck on the market. Dodge and Toyota have increased the size of the Dakota and Tacoma to mid-sized trucks. Ford has promised to continue to make the Ranger until 2012, although the instability of the United States automakers could affect this promise.

Ford mad the decision a few years ago to spend advertising dollars on the Explorer series rather than the Ranger a few years ago, and the result has been that sales of the Ranger have been lagging. Promises from Ford are that the Ranger will be produced until the 2012 model year. This, in part is due to the demands for better fuel economy.

Rumors have it that in 2012, Ford will replace the Ranger with a truck being manufactured in Australia that was originally designed for world markets other than the United States. Reports also say that this truck will have a much smaller 1. 6 liter engine with the option for a 3. 0 liter diesel engine only in Rangers sold outside of the United States.

Ford Rangers have been very popular Fords for several years. They offer fuel economy, but drivers can still feel free to carry a payload in the truck. Engine sizes slowly increased offering the later trucks more power than the first ones. New engine styles can offer the same power with lower fuel consumption.

Storage Ideas For Your Pickup Truck

Years ago, there were only a couple of options for storage boxes for your pickup truck and many times, you just ended up building your own. The size of truck beds started changing to accommodate the next generation’s needs and you started noticing more women purchasing pickup trucks than ever before.

It is not surprising to see manufacturers noticing changing trends and the need to meet those changes. An all time favorite storage unit is the crossover toolbox. Designed to fit over the bedsides and snug against the cab, they come available in aluminum and steel. The number one concern of customers is to keep their contents safe and dry so you want to choose a company that has this in mind and one who is not afraid to guarantee their product. If weight is a concern, the aluminum crossover is a mere 70 to 80 pounds and the steel units are 100 to 110 pounds.

A truck chest offers basically the same dimensions and storage capabilities as the crossover with one important distinction. It sits square against the back of the cab without the ends protruding over the sides of the bedsides. Many people prefer this clean flush look as opposed to a crossover and there are bolsters attached to the bottom of the truck chest to prevent the bottom from ever sitting in water.

A specialty item that many women find appealing is the steel wheel well boxes with tray and divider. This little storage unit mounts over the rear wheel well and uses the unused space very nicely. It has a reversible lid that opens from either side so the box can be used over the right or left wheel well. A divider separates the small space from the deeper space for storing small items and larger items. This is perfect for needed tools and larger cargo, keeping both clean and dry without taking up cargo space. At 40-50 pounds, the wheel well box can be easily removed. What a great idea for that unused space!

The need for storage in a pickup truck has always been a problem and now there are several options for keeping your tools, supplies and other items dry, dust free and safe. Almost all units on the market come with locking systems guaranteed to keep out unwanted intruders. Choose your manufacturer carefully and you will have many years of worry free storage no matter where you need to park your pickup.

Electronic Evidence in Truck Accident Cases

As litigation techniques evolve with the available technology, computerized dispatch records, cell phone forensics, GPS technology and computer animations make it possible for attorneys to better investigate their cases and better represent their clients at trial.

Digital data has already begun to affect truck accident litigation. For instance, federal motor carrier safety laws regulate the hours of service for all commercial truck drivers. Truck drivers, however, sometimes falsify logs, so that they can travel more miles and for more hours in a day than would be allowed. The end result of this is that drivers are at times not where they report to be. What happens if a truck driver is involved in an accident, but claims he was somewhere else entirely when it happened?

The chances of getting away with such a claim are significantly less now than they used to be. Today, GPS technology used by trucking companies, security cameras on the street and cell phone records all can be used to verify a drivers location. This is just one of the many potential uses of emerging technology in litigation.

Electronic Logbooks

A lively debate is going on within the trucking industry about replacing paper logbooks with electronic ones. This debate pits smaller trucking companies against the larger carriers.

The larger carriers tend to favor a government-mandated transition to electronic logbooks. In part, this is because the larger carriers suspect that many of the smaller carriers are more likely than their bigger competitors to falsify driver logs. Federal regulations limit drivers to 11 hours driven per day, and use of electronic logbooks would make lack of compliance with that standard — and the resulting driver fatigue — tougher to conceal.

Smaller trucking companies and independent truckers are generally opposed to more government regulation. They are concerned that electronic onboard recorders (EOBR) would add costs without necessarily improving public safety.

Even if the government does not move quickly to require onboard recorders, change is coming. As more companies make the transition to electronic logs, more evidence will be available for plaintiff’s attorneys to obtain through discovery.

Cell Phone Forensics

Cell phone records can be used in court to show exactly where someone was and whom they were talking with at a particular time. Given the nature of cell phone technology — in which the signal is constantly being routed to the nearest cell tower — someone’s location can be pinpointed very closely. And there will also be a record of who was on the other end of the conversation.

Cell phone forensics allows one to use these records to get at the truth of what happened. If a truck driver recorded in a paper log a check-in at a motel for the night at a certain time, cell phone records could show the trucker was actually still on the road, talking with someone on the phone. Some cell phones now come with GPS technology, which allows for locations to be pinpointed even more precisely.

Generating Records, 24 Hours a Day

Sophisticated software now exists to assign drivers, tractors, trailers and cargo to each load carried. To keep the wheels of commerce running, electronic transponders installed in commercial vehicles enable drivers to deliver at any time without a human worker present to open the gates or sign for the goods. Security cameras supply a second level of documentation for the arrival and delivery data.

Data from these computerized dispatch and delivery programs can help a plaintiff’s attorney make the case for liability against a trucking company. For example, the data might show that the driver did not spend the standard amount of time at the loading dock before leaving with a new load. This may be evidence that the truck wasn’t loaded properly.

Computer Simulations at Trial

Law is a profession in which traditions are valued, but legal procedures must also evolve with the times. The use of computer simulations at trial is one example. Using computer simulations at trial is often the best way to tell a plaintiff’s story to the jury.

One aspect of this is accident reconstruction and visibility studies. By the time a truck accident case is ready for trial, the accident scene has usually been considerably altered. A computer simulation allows for a clear consideration of the causal factors, in a way juries can understand. Courts are inclined to permit this, as long as witness testimony shows that the scene depicted in the simulation is substantially similar to the accident scene at the time the accident occurred.

Technological change is a given, and creative plaintiff’s attorneys are finding new ways to use it to tell their clients’ stories.
