When servicing powered conveyor equipment, robotic trailer unload or other automated
systems, the trailer alignment to the dock is critical. The loading dock configuration is often
overlooked in a complex assembly line, however is one that can dictate if the system works
or not.
The Total Dock Alignment System by Leum Engineering, Inc. creates the consistent vertical
and horizontal positioning required keeping the line running. Our careful engineering of the
trailers, building, approach and unloading equipment allow us to build a product that will stand
up to the rigors of the loading dock environment.
Installation is as critical as the design of the equipment, so all of our products can
be modified during install to coordinate trailer, conveyor and dock configurations.
Our company specializes in dock to trailer interfaces.

Total Dock Alignment
Automated loading docks,
such as robotic and conveyor
unload systems require trailers
to be finitely located for proper
unloading. The combination of
wheel guides, despringers and
trailer
skid plates can
accomplish this
difficult task. |

Precise Vertical Positioning
The “despringer” columns that
support the rear of the trailer
provide exact vertical support
and horizontal alignment. The
top of the columns include a
long sloping ramp and 2” tall
side yolks which nest the trailers
within 1/8” from side to side. |

No Maintenance
The despringer, wheel guide
and puck system allows for an
interface that does not need
maintenance to work. |

Application Engineering
Each dock and trailer
configuration is configured
and designed to guarantee the
system will work as needed. |

Easily Align Trailers at Dock
The first step for total dock
alignment is to bring the trailers
into the dock consistently.
The wheel guides
provide the
overall alignment while the despringers fine tune the
spacing at
the dock. |

Minimize Trailer Changes
Trailer modifications can
be risky if not designed and
installed correctly. The skid
plates do not interfere with
NHTSA Rear Impact Guards.
The special materials and
design of our skid plates
ensure long life without repair. |
