Areas of application

  • Loading bridges with feed lip
  • Loading ramps in logistics and distribution centers
  • Industrial halls with varying vehicle heights
  • Refrigerated and hygienic storage with controlled processes
  • Modernization & replacement of existing ramp controls

Feed systems are ideal when different truck heights need to be safely bridged.

How feed controls work

The control system coordinates the entire process of the loading bridge: lifting the platform, controlled extension of the extension lip , placement on the loading surface, and safe retraction after the loading process.

  • Precisely metered feed for a clean transition
  • Stable end positions despite changing vehicle heights
  • Clear operating logic for the operating personnel
  • Automatic return to parking position

Safety & Standards

Feed controls support comprehensive safety functions:

  • Emergency stop for immediate shutdown
  • Position monitoring of platform & lip
  • Overload and incorrect operation protection
  • Interfaces for traffic lights, flashing lights & locking mechanisms
  • Preparation for combined systems (gate + loading bridge)

Integration & Extensions

Extension To use
Traffic lights / Flashing lights Release and warning signals for drivers and forklift traffic
Gate lock Safety dependency between gate and loading bridge
Service & diagnostic functions Reduced downtime through rapid fault finding
Retrofitting existing systems Replacing old control systems without a complete overhaul

Selection guide – which feed control is suitable?

  • Loading bridge type: Is a sliding lip present?
  • Lifting and extension distance: dependent on ramp height and vehicles
  • Voltage & power: suitable for motor & hydraulics
  • Safety features: Emergency stop, signaling, interlock
  • Operating frequency: Standard operation or high load

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

When do I need a feed control system?

If your loading bridge uses an extendable sliding lip and different truck heights need to be safely compensated for.

Can feed controls be coupled with gates?

Yes, secure processes between the gate and loading bridge can be implemented via locking or combination interfaces.

Are the controllers suitable for retrofitting?

Yes, many feed control systems are specifically designed for modernization and replacement of existing ramp control systems.
