Hörmann has launched the new HTL3 dock leveller, a next-generation modular solution designed to deliver greater flexibility for both new-build and refurbishment projects while making installation and maintenance simpler. Building on decades of engineering expertise, the HTL3 combines high-strength steel construction with a redesigned telescopic lip and improved resistance to lane grooves, providing durability and reliable performance in demanding loading environments.
Independently tested to EN 1398, the HTL3 modular platform provides a robust solution for new-build loading facilities as well as the replacement and refurbishment of existing dock infrastructure and is available in three versions. The modular solution offers a core product with various options available to suit both new build and refurbishment projects.
The standard version has a compact design making it ideal for new builds and straightforward like-for-like replacements. While the R version features a variable adaptor solution that allows the width and length of the leveller to be adapted to fit an existing pit, making it particularly suitable as a replacement leveller in existing facilities.
Peak Loads
Durability has been a key consideration in the development of the HTL3. Its high-strength steel construction provides increased durability, while the redesigned, thicker telescopic lip offers approximately 50% greater resistance to fatigue under peak loads. The leveller also has improved resistance to lane grooves, supporting smoother and more reliable operation in busy loading areas.
The HTL3 has also been designed to make installation and servicing more straightforward. Improved access and an optimised hydraulic layout simplify installation and servicing, helping to reduce maintenance time and minimise operational downtime.
The new generation HTL3 is particularly compact for transportation, helping to reduce transport requirements and associated costs while supporting sustainability objectives – an increasingly important consideration for logistics and industrial developments.
With its modular construction, three application-specific versions and focus on durability, straightforward servicing and refurbishment flexibility, the HTL3 represents the next generation of Hörmann dock leveller technology.
