Fixed Dock Levelers Speed Up SF Express Sorting Hub Turnaround in Guangdong

The Challenge

SF Express’s Guangdong sorting hub handles tens of thousands of parcels a day, with trucks arriving and leaving around the clock. Loading bays were losing minutes on every trailer because the height gap between dock and truck bed slowed forklift loading. With peak-season volumes surging, the customer needed a fast, reliable way to bridge dock-to-trailer heights — without interrupting daily operations.

The Solution

Weilin Qinli supplied a set of fixed hydraulic dock levelers, each matched to the hub’s dock height and duty cycle. The 400 mm lip extends automatically onto the trailer floor, the deck adjusts across the full working range, and the hydraulic power unit handles continuous operation with safety legs, hydraulic lock and emergency stop as standard. Installation was completed with minimal downtime, followed by a full on-site load acceptance test.

Results

• Loading and unloading completed faster — forklifts drive straight on and off with no manual dock plates
• 24/7 operation through peak logistics seasons with no unplanned downtime
• Dock workers safer, with automatic leveling replacing manual plate handling
• CE & ISO 9001 certified equipment with factory-direct support
