French term or phrase: lèvres courtes
This is a document detailing shipping and delivery procedures for a company. I'm unsure of the English term for this. Can anyone help?

Le quai du bâtiment est situé à 1m20 du sol de la cour (aire de manœuvre).
Il est équipé de lèvres courtes adaptées au déchargement des véhicules dont le plancher est à 1m40 du sol.

Many thanks

Explanation:
Chakib Roula found the right references, but chose the wrong work. The Lèvres courtes are not the leveller. They are the lips. (just google "leveller short lips")

Leveller


Explanation:
Retractable Lip Dock Levellers
Safety and strength: Profitability assured.

The dock levellers with telescopic lip allow you to adapt to all loading and unloading situations. Thanks to the lip’s retractable movement, the truck does not have to be centred in the dock.

With these dock models you have longer platforms with a place in shorter loading bays.

They allow larger height differences between loading bays and truck platforms, as well as the distance between them.

At Inkema we manufacture two types of dock levellers with telescopic lip:

RH2: has a retractable lip of 500mm. Adapting perfectly to any loading bay.
RH3: has a retractable lip of 1.000 mm. Especially recommended for isothermal installations thanks to its perfect seal.

As with the dock levellers with retractable lip, we offer our customers the chance to choose their finish: painted, galvanized or in stainless steel.
