Loading technology

Comprehensive Loading Technology Solutions Since 1993

GD has been active in the loading technology and material handling equipment market since 1993, offering a complete range of solutions tailored to diverse industrial needs.
We design and manufacture fixed and rail-mounted folding dock levelers, available with manual or hydraulic operation, and featuring tilting or telescoping lips. Our dock levelers are produced in the widest range of load capacities and sizes, with load capacities ranging from 2 to 14 tons and dock lengths from 0.8 m to 5.0 m.

In addition to dock levelers, our product portfolio includes a wide range of complete loading docks. These can be integrated into the building structure or constructed as external loading boxes. All versions are available in standard or insulated designs.

For dock levelers integrated into building structures, our customers can choose prefabricated reinforced concrete substructure elements, significantly reducing the construction time of docking stations.
One of our specialties is the closed, insulated loading dock, which can accommodate vehicles with refrigerated cargo compartments while keeping the doors closed. These doors can be opened only after the vehicle has docked. This solution is particularly advantageous for facilities with refrigerated storage areas, as it significantly reduces heat loss and ensures better hygiene compared to conventional loading docks.

Hydraulic Lifting Tables as Key Components of Modern Loading Technology

An important part of our product range is our family of hydraulic lifting tables. These scissor-lift mechanisms are designed to bridge large height differences and can be integrated into docks as a component of the loading station or installed separately.
Our selection encompasses a wide range of load capacities and dimensions, with load capacities from 0.5 to 15 tons, lift platform sizes up to 5.0×8.0 m, and lifting strokes from 1.0 to 1.6 m.

Our lifting platforms can be ordered with hydraulically operated bridge plates, ensuring safe access between the lift platform and the vehicle. We also manufacture lift tables combined with dock levelers that can extend into the cargo area of a docked vehicle when installed inside a building. A major advantage of these systems is their ability to accommodate vehicles of any load capacity, platform size, and platform height.
Naturally, our loading technology product range includes all types of dock seals, which provide insulation between the vehicle and the dock during loading, as well as industrial doors for sealing loading openings. 
Our doors include sectional and roller shutter doors, which we supply tailored to the specific site and equipped with features that meet customer requirements.

Additionally, our product range includes various bumpers, wheel guides and traffic control to assist vehicle positioning, and all accessories that enhance the safety and efficiency of vehicle loading operations.
