Loading Bridges

Loading bridges are essential elements at any transfer point between a dock and a transport vehicle. Their main function is to safely and effectively bridge the distance and any height difference between the two, facilitating the movement of goods, machinery, or personnel. They help speed up loading and unloading operations, reduce operation times, and increase safety in the work environment.

At Inkema, we design and manufacture loading bridges adapted to different types of needs and operational configurations. Available in fixed, mobile, or hydraulic versions, our loading bridges offer practical solutions for facilities that do not require more complex systems but demand durability, functionality, and ease of use.

Choosing the right loading bridge not only improves operational efficiency but also ensures a safe working environment, complying with current technical and regulatory requirements.

Designed for Efficiency at the Loading Dock

Inkema loading bridges do not require a pit or major construction work, making it easy to install them directly at the edge of the loading dock.

They ensure a smooth transition between the dock and the vehicle, regardless of the type of cargo. Depending on the model, they can be fixed to the dock or move laterally, allowing each unit to be fully utilized in facilities with multiple loading points.

Designed to Adapt to Any Logistics Scenario

The variety of models caters to the different configurations a logistics facility may have: from large distribution centers to small warehouses. Manufacturing in a single piece eliminates moving parts that could wear out from heavy use, significantly reducing maintenance.

All models are available in two main materials, each with its own advantages.

Aluminum Loading Bridges

Inkema’s aluminum loading bridges are ideal for logistics centers that require mobility, versatility, and easy installation. Their one-piece construction eliminates oxidation points and ensures a long service life.

Featured models:

• PA51: Fixed folding bridge, durable and functional.
• PA52: Folding bridge with lateral movement.
• PA53: Transportable bridge for light loads.
• PA54: Transportable bridge with a swinging lip.

Safety and Efficiency in Every Operation

Inkema loading bridges are designed to address common operational situations at loading docks, providing clear solutions to everyday needs:

✔ Prevent blockages at docks when vehicles of different heights or without their own platform are present.
✔  Minimize workplace risks by offering a safe and predictable passage for operators and internal transport equipment.
✔ Corrosion-prone environments: aluminum versions offer high resistance to oxidation, ideal for outdoor or humid areas.
✔ Installations where construction work is not possible: since no pit is required, the bridges can be placed directly at the dock edge, avoiding structural interventions.
✔ Need for low-maintenance solutions: manufactured in a single piece and without complex hydraulic systems, maintenance is minimal.
