| Technical purpose of product or process | The dock leveller consists of five main components: electrical installation, hydraulic system, control box, swing lip in the straight version, steel platform varnished, CE declaration of conformity. EPD No 452 covers 4 types of devices with slightly different solutions: AMTRK-PRO dock leveller with swing lip. The swing lip dock leveller is designed for pallet handling by forklift trucks of articulated lorries. The dock leveller is equipped with a stable hinged lip to ensure fast and safe loading. The access platform is made of 6/8 mm thick chequered steel plate. It is integrated into the service support and connected at the rear of the dock leveller frame by means of hinges. Full safety of use is ensured by the anti-slip surface, foot protection along the entire length of the platform and full range of dock leveller lifting. Different ways of embedding the platforms in the foundation are possible. The AMTRK-PRO dock leveller lip is made of high-quality, 12 mm thick tread metal sheet and features a reliable hinge system that works even when heavily contaminated. In addition, the lip is chamfered to 40 mm, which prevents damage to the wheels on loading equipment. AMTRV-CD variable capacity dock leveller is designed to ensure the smooth loading and unloading of both lorries and delivery trucks using the same loading platform. The telescopic lip in the AMTRV-CD dock leveller is manufactured from high quality 12 mm (12/14) corrugated sheet metal and fitted with a special, durable, contamination-resistant and maintenance-free pull-out mechanism. A system of simple, highly durable slides ensures its quiet and trouble-free operation. The AMTRV-CD dock leveler lip has a segmented design, allowing the operation of vehicles of different types, depending on the selected operating mode. AMTRV ESS system, an ideal solution to ensure the safety of the docking process, the safety of the goods and the driver who does not have to leave the vehicle directly in front of the bay to open the rear of the trailer. An additional advantage of the system is the significant reduction in costs associated with the loss of energy needed to heat or cool warehouses during loading, as the door opens after the vehicle is docked and sealed. The AMTRV-ESS dock leveller is not only used for internal loading docks, but also for specially developed external loading bays with doors and air seals, ideally suited to solutions applied in freezers. When at standstill, the platform is lowered from level 0 to allow the doors of the articulated lorry trailer to be opened when docked. The lip of the AMTRV-ESS is manufactured from 12 mm (12/14 mm) high quality corrugated sheet metal with a robust, reliable and maintenance-free pull-out mechanism. The pull-out lip of the platform can be manufactured in two different shapes: a straight lip and a diagonal lip. AMTRV-PRO Dock leveller with pull-out lip. The pull-out lip dock leveller is designed for pallet handling by forklift trucks for articulated lorries. Its characteristic feature is an extending lip guided on bearing rollers. The dock leveller is CE marked. The access platform is made of 8/10 mm thick chequered plate. It is integrated into the service safety device and connected at the rear of the dock leveller frame by means of hinges. Full safety of use is ensured by the and-slip surface, foot protection along the entire length of the platform and full range of dock leveller lifting. Different ways of embedding the platforms in the foundation are possible. The lip of the AMTRV-PRO is manufactured from 12 mm (12/14 mm) high quality tread sheet metal with a robust, reliable and maintenance-free pull-out mechanism. The pull-out lip of the platform can be manufactured in two different shapes: a straight lip and a diagonal lip. |
| General comment on data set | The data selected for LCA originate from ITB-LCI questionnaires completed by AMTR System. No specific data collected is older than five years and no generic datasets used are older than ten years. The representativeness, completeness, reliability, and consistency are judged as good. The database, Ecoinvent 3.9 is utilized for the background system (plastics, electro-mechanics, oil, packaging, energy carriers). For steel input data the specific EPDs from suppliers were used. As a result, both upstream and downstream activities are based on average supply mixes for the specific region depending on the given dataset and KOBiZE data is used (Polish electricity mix and combustion factors for fuels). Specific (LCI) data quality analysis was a part of the input data verification. The time related quality of the data used is valid (5 years) The allocation rules used for this EPD are based on general ITB’s document PCR A 1.6 (2023). In the modules A1-A3, material losses in the assembly of the products in the factory are defined on the averaged specific values for the site. Input and output data from the production is inventoried and allocated to the levellers production on the mass basis. The declaration covers a range of products (averaged). Their production resources and processing stages are basically similar, so it is possible to average the production by product volume. All data obtained from the survey at the solar glass supplier and module manufacturer were taken into consideration, all available data from production have been considered, i.e. all raw materials/elements used as per assembly process, utilized thermal energy, and electric power consumption. Thus, material and energy flows contributing less than 1 % of mass or energy have been considered. It can be assumed that the total sum of neglected processes does not exceed 5 % of energy usage and mass per module A, B, C or D. Machines and facilities required during production are neglected. The production of etiquettes, tape and glue was also not considered. The weight of the platform due to the accessories may vary plus or minus 2%. |
