Loading bridge for ramps has level compensating means to compensate level between deck face of extending forward drive and cover plate of platform

摘要

The loading bridge with swivel mounted platform (12) and cover plate (10) has level compensating means to compensate the level between the deck face (13) of the extending forward drive (7) and the cover plate (10) of the platform (12) when the drive is extended into an end position and for then moving the drive a predetermined amount into a loading position. The leading edge (15) of the cover plate of the platform and the rear edge (14) of the deck face of the drive are inclined complementary to each other so that the deck face and cover plate form one continuous loading surface in the loading position. The compensating means can include hydraulic cylinders and guide rollers.
