Loading Dock Levelers
Hydraulic dock levelers
Hydraulic dock levelers are push-button activated and have the highest capacity available. They utilize fully powered raise and lip extension functions with hydraulic cylinders and hydraulic pump and motor stations. Hydraulic levelers are considered the safest loading dock choice.
Air-powered dock levelers
Air-powered dock levelers are an economical alternative to hydraulic levelers, but are still operated with a push-button activation for ease of use. They have a mid-range capacity with an air bag or bellows system used to raise and lower the deck.
Mechanical levelers
Mechanical levelers use a pull chain activation to raise the deck. The operator simply walks the deck back down to the bed of a trailer or to a stored position. These levelers are equipment for extreme float conditions.
Vertical Storing Dock
Vertical storing dock levelers are hydraulically operated and offer unmatched environmental control for customers with food storage or temperature sensitive applications. By storing in the vertical position, the VSH Series allows the overhead door to form a perfect seal to the pit floor. VSH Series levelers also offer improved cleanliness, overhead door protection, increased security, improved productivity, and easy maintenance.
Edge-of-Dock
Edge-of-dock levelers are a great solution for lower budgets. They mount directly to the dock face and provide a recommended working range of +/-3″ and a maximum operating range of +/-5″ above or below dock. The units are offered with either mechanical or hydraulic operation.
