The invention relates to a loading device which is also referred to as a "dock leveller" and which comprises a loading bridge with an upward pivotable platform (5), a front edge of which can be carried to the same level as the loading floor of a truck. Upward pivoting of the platform for the purpose of placing it at the desired level takes place using air under pressure. On the platform can be arranged an extensible lip (8) which can also be driven using air under pressure. Use is preferably made of a drive cylinder of plastic, in particular PVC. Since compressed air is usually already present at locations where such loading devices are used, the manufacturing and installation costs of the loading device according to the invention can be low. |
