fuse to protect in opposition to dock leveler free-falling to the lower part of the pit. In the 
event the dock attendant was on the dock leveler when an unscheduled truck departure 
occurred, this feature would shield and protect the attendant from detriment.

Moreover, hydraulic dock levelers are stored in the dock pit and supply the smoothest 
transition between the dock leveler and trailer, enhancing safety and productivity at the 
loading dock. Thus, preventing harm and minimizing forklift and product devastation. 
The hydraulic positioning of both the lip and platform guarantees high reliability and low 
maintenance of the dock leveler and push-button activation supplies the dock attendant 
with simple control for safe operation and conduct.

A hydraulic dock leveler is a modern equipment perfectly designed to help run more safe 
and effective loading and unloading in a warehouse. They permit your operation to 
accomplish with warehouse rules and regulations while providing a streamlined process 
for shipments and outgoing pallet loads.

levelers, also popularly known as mechanical levelers in the industry. Hydraulic dock 
levelers prefer to use a simple hydraulic circuit, made up of a pump, cylinder, and valves 
to uplift and lower the leveler platform.

Qualities and Features of AirVolution-D 550

Warehouse, retail, and manufacturing facilities are designed to cater to the bulk volume 
of goods, commodities, and materials as well as other equipment and products for 
storage or assembly.

Both the workforce and the goods together with the other items above-mentioned are 
in dire need to have the comfortable and conducive work and storage areas. In short, 
the room temperature of the facility should be regulated to properly provide a workable 
environment and suitable for storage to promote productivity and efficiency.

The use of air conditioning units in the facility increases the overhead costs of the 
management and to address this issue, the utilization of the industrial fans is 
indispensable.

Most of the industrial fans being used in the warehousing and similar facilities are 
assembled with a high wattage to provide a powerful fan but due to their old design, 
these fans are not engineered to properly and equally distribute the cold temperature 
to the four corners of the facility.

On the basis of this concern, Overhead Door Company of Charlotte, a Division 
of DuraServ Corp. distributes the AirVolution-D 550. This industrial fan is cost-saving 
due to its energy-efficient feature on top of its top attribute that it can distribute the air-
conditioned ambiance to the entire warehouse and regulate the temperature.

The AirVolution-D 550 is an ideal industrial fan that has been designed to regulate the 
air in a medium-sized area as it adapts the facility’s input voltage. Aside from that, this 
industrial fan has been assembled with the integration of high technology ideas that may 
likewise be tap into the automation system of the facility.

As a matter of fact, it has a direct drive motor that does not require the use of a gearbox
 that in effect increases the sustained torque, power efficiency, and durability while 
reducing the noise and weight.

Moreover, this industrial fan has two moving parts only, which as a result needs seldom 
maintenance. Aside from that, it does not need oils to operate which means there will be 
no leakage of oil from the gearbox.

This industrial fan integrated the airfoils that have the attribute of generating more airflow 
on the utilization of its entire speed range. They are the extruded aluminum that uses the 
open-ended airfoil caps to pull in air and cool the electronics and motor.

In addition, it resists dust accumulation and oxidation that requires lesser energy for the 
utmost airflow.
