Dock Levelers Built for India's Loading Bay Reality
Six engineering advantages that make Yadav Entrance Automation dock levelers and loading bay equipment the preferred choice for India's fastest-growing warehouses and logistics parks.
Triple Capacity Range — 6T, 8T, 10T
Our dock leveler range covers every vehicle class operating on Indian roads — from medium-duty LCVs to heavy 22-wheel trailers. The 10T hydraulic dock leveler handles overloaded trucks common in FMCG and automotive supply chains without structural fatigue. Platform width and length are customizable to match your pit dimensions.
Dock Shelters & Seals — Full Weather Seal
India's monsoons cost warehouses thousands in cargo damage and HVAC energy loss every year. Our inflatable dock shelters and foam dock seals compress around the trailer body to create a continuous weather-tight seal — blocking rain, dust, insects and temperature bleed even with trucks that are 100–200mm off-spec. Critical for cold chain and pharma loading bays.
Integrated Lip Extension — Zero Forklift Gap
Our 400mm hydraulically-deployed lip extension creates a smooth bridge from the dock floor to the truck deck, eliminating the wheel-drop that causes forklift tip-overs and pallet damage. The lip auto-extends on dock leveler activation for safe cross-travel by reach trucks, walkie stackers and pallet movers at the loading dock door.
Hydraulic, Mechanical or Edge-of-Dock
Choose a hydraulic dock leveler for high-cycle bays with single-button operation, a mechanical (spring) dock leveler where power is unavailable at the pit, or an edge-of-dock leveler that bolts to the dock face when no pit can be cast. One vendor engineers the right configuration for your existing or greenfield loading dock.
Safety-First Design — IS 7155 Compliant
Every dock leveler ships with a safety lock bar that mechanically locks the platform at working height during loading — no dependence on hydraulic pressure alone. Velocity fuses on the cylinder give fail-safe lowering on hose failure, and a toe-guard mesh and dock bumpers protect operators and the pit frame during truck approach.
Complete Loading Bay Equipment
Beyond the dock leveler itself, Yadav Entrance Automation supplies the complete loading bay equipment package — dock shelters, dock seals, dock bumpers, wheel guides and dock doors. Procurement from a single vendor means unified installation, one AMC contract and one call centre for all loading dock service needs.
Types of Dock Equipment We Manufacture
Six dock equipment configurations covering every loading bay requirement. Each is built to order — tell us your vehicle types, pit dimensions and duty cycle and we engineer the right dock leveler and seal package to match.
Most Popular
Hydraulic Dock Leveler
The workhorse hydraulic dock leveler with single-button operation for high-cycle loading bays. A double-acting cylinder raises the 6T–10T platform and auto-extends the lip for gap-free truck-to-floor transfer, with a mechanical safety lock and velocity fuse as standard.

Economy
Mechanical Dock Leveler
A spring-operated mechanical dock leveler for bays where electrical supply isn't available at the pit. The operator walks the platform down to set working height; a pre-tensioned spring assembly and hold-down ratchet make it a low-cost, low-maintenance choice for moderate-traffic docks.
View details
No Pit
Edge-of-Dock Leveler
A compact edge-of-dock leveler that bolts directly to the dock face where no pit can be cast. Hydraulic or mechanical operation bridges short height differences between dock and trailer — the fastest, lowest-cost way to upgrade an existing loading dock for forklift access.
View details
Weather Seal
Dock Shelter
A retractable or inflatable dock shelter frames the loading dock door and seals the gap around the trailer top and sides. It blocks rain, dust and heat exchange while still allowing the truck to back in freely — essential for protecting cargo and conditioned air at every bay.
View details
Energy Saving
Dock Seal
A foam-block dock seal compresses against the rear of the trailer to form a tight perimeter seal at the loading dock door. Ideal for cold chain and air-conditioned warehouses, it cuts refrigeration and HVAC energy loss and keeps dust and insects out of the bay.

Complete Bay
Loading Bay Equipment
Complete loading bay equipment to finish the dock — dock bumpers rated for 50T impact, wheel guides, dock lights, traffic signals and the dock door. Specified and installed alongside your dock leveler for a fully integrated, safe loading dock from a single vendor.

Choosing dock levellers: what actually decides the specification
A dock leveller is a powered platform that bridges the gap between a dock and a vehicle bed. The right one is decided by the opening and how it is used, not by the catalogue. These are the things worth settling before anyone quotes.
What to measure
- Clear opening width and height — the daylight opening the vehicle or person passes through, not the hole in the wall.
- Headroom above the opening — decides which products are possible at all.
- Side-room, both sides — guides, tracks and motors live here, and it is rarely equal on both sides.
- Power at the position — 230V single-phase or 415V three-phase, 50 Hz.
- Cycles per shift — the most under-specified figure on a typical enquiry.
- Environment — temperature, dust, washdown, coastal air or a hygiene requirement.

Dock Levellers — frequently asked questions
Who manufactures dock levellers in India?
Yadav Entrance Automation Pvt. Ltd. manufactures dock levellers in India, at our plant at Neemrana, Rajasthan on the Delhi-Jaipur NH-48 corridor. We have been building entrance automation equipment since 2011, with more than 500 installations across over 50 cities. Equipment is made to the measured opening rather than to a catalogue size, then installed and commissioned by our own engineers.
What is a dock leveller?
A dock leveller is a powered platform that bridges the gap between a dock and a vehicle bed. It is specified against the opening it serves and the way that opening is used, so two openings of the same width can need different equipment. We build dock levellers for warehouse and distribution loading bays serving mixed vehicle heights.
What does a dock leveller cost?
We quote per project rather than publishing a price, because the figure moves with the rated capacity, the platform size, the vehicle bed heights served and the pit detail. Send the opening dimensions, the site location and how the opening is used, and an engineer will come back with a drawing and a written quotation. That is faster than a list price that would need revising once the site is measured.
Do you supply dock levellers near me?
We install and service across North and West India, with the plant at Neemrana and teams in Delhi NCR and Gujarat. Installations to date cover more than 50 cities, concentrated in the Delhi-Jaipur corridor, Haryana, Rajasthan and Gujarat. Tell us the site location with your enquiry and we will confirm coverage before quoting.
Can dock levellers be motorised or automated?
Yes, where the product supports it. Motorised operation is specified against the weight being moved and the number of cycles per day, not simply added on. The drive, the control panel and the safety devices are listed on the technical drawing you approve before manufacture, so nothing about the automation is a surprise on site.
What power supply is needed?
Standard Indian industrial mains: 230V single-phase or 415V three-phase at 50 Hz. Which one applies depends on the product, the size of the opening and the duty cycle. The requirement is confirmed on the approved drawing so your electrical contractor can position the supply and isolator before delivery.
What measurements do you need to quote for dock levellers?
Clear opening width and height first — the daylight opening, not the wall opening. Then the headroom above the opening and the free side-room each side. Add the power available at the position, how many openings, and roughly how often each is used in a shift. Those figures let an engineer rule out the wrong products before visiting.
Do you handle installation, or only supply?
We manufacture, install and commission with our own team, and we do not sub-contract installation of our own equipment. How well a unit is fitted to its opening decides how long it lasts, so it is not work we hand off. Handover includes operating instructions on site.
Do you provide service, spares and AMC?
Yes. We supply genuine spares and offer Annual Maintenance Contracts for the equipment we manufacture. On high-cycle equipment maintenance matters more than most buyers expect, because wear tracks cycles rather than calendar age. Tell us the site and the equipment and we will route it to the nearest service team.
Which standards and certifications apply?
Our manufacturing is certified to ISO 9001 and applicable products are CE marked. Structural steelwork commonly references IS 2062 and rolling shutters IS 6248, both published by the Bureau of Indian Standards; fire-resistance testing is commonly referenced to EN 1634. If your specification names a standard, send the clause with the enquiry so it is written into the drawing.
Can you make dock levellers to a non-standard size?
Yes, and most industrial openings are non-standard. Equipment is built to the measured opening rather than to a catalogue size. We take the clear width, clear height, headroom and side-room on site, then confirm the achievable size on the drawing before manufacture begins.
How long does manufacture and delivery take?
It depends on the product and whether the opening is standard or bespoke, and it moves with material availability and the current order book. Rather than quote a general figure that may not hold, we confirm a delivery date in writing with the quotation.
Do you work with contractors, consultants and PSUs?
Yes. We supply end users directly and also work as a vendor to main contractors, PMCs and design consultants. We are GST registered and manufacture under Make in India, which matters for government and PSU procurement. For tendered work we can provide drawings, product data and the compliance documentation the specification calls for.
What safety devices are included?
For powered equipment, typically safety photocells across the opening, a safety edge where applicable, limit switches at both travel ends, and a manual release for use during a power cut. Vehicle equipment can add loop detectors. The exact schedule is listed on the drawing you approve, so check that rather than assuming a standard set.
