Hi, site I work at are reviewing whether to utilise the dock levellers (currently used for containers only), to load curtain sider lorries using a ride-on pallet truck to enter the rear.

The curtains that would be used are to EN 12642 xl standard, however I can't find where it states they are load tested for pallet trucks etc. We've reached out to another company who do this practice but they say it's really down to indivduals choice if they have other controls in place to mitage risk.

Cut long story short, is it safe to use a pallet truck to load pallets from the rear?

Thank you
