Dock Leveler Pit: Hydraulic, 72 x 86 x 23-1/2in, 35000 lb., Yellow

The Hydraulic Dock Leveler, 72 x 86 x 23-1/2in and 35,000 lb. capacity, is designed for high traffic loading and unloading dock environments. This is a must have for any busy operation. The leveler comes in different sizes to fit your dock configuration. When building the dock leveler pit a form—either a traditional concrete form or a prefabricated option—can be used to shape the foundation. Consider all aspects of dock leveler selection such as load requirements and operational needs when making your choice.

With a state of the art hydraulic design the dock leveler is easy to operate with the push of a button. When activated the hydraulic pump lifts the deck to its maximum height and the lip extends automatically for smooth transitions between the dock and trailers. The lift mechanism raises the platform to connect the dock and trailer. When you release the button the deck gently lowers until it is secure against the trailer for added load stability. Manual models use a chain mechanism for operation which is good for lighter loads or less frequent use. The hydraulic system is for high traffic and high demand environments.

Safety is top priority with this model which has telescopic steel toe guards on both sides flush with the platform edge. Two laminated bumpers protect both operators and surrounding equipment. The built in control box has a bright red emergency stop button that meets industry standards for added peace of mind. The dock leveler is fixed in place for stability and safety.

Designed to handle heavy loads with ease the Hydraulic Dock Leveler meets and exceeds the demands of high traffic loading docks. As an added convenience it will automatically lower back to the full down position when the truck leaves and has a limit switch to return the platform to its level cross traffic position for smooth workflow. Routine maintenance is required to ensure optimal performance and longevity. The leveler can be raised or lowered to fit different truck heights to fit your operational needs.

In summary the Hydraulic Dock Leveler is a solid and practical solution for high traffic dock areas. With its user friendly design, great safety features and labor saving productivity this dock leveler is a smart investment for any looking to improve their efficiency and safety standards.

Loading Dock Equipment

Loading dock equipment is the backbone of any warehouse and shipping center. Among the most important components are dock levelers which are the bridge between the loading dock and the truck bed. By filling the gap and creating a smooth surface dock levelers make it safe and easy to move goods and equipment between the dock and trucks. Whether you’re handling heavy pallets or delicate cargo the right dock leveler will make every smooth and safe handling. Pit levelers and edge of dock levelers are designed to increase safety, reduce accidents and streamline the loading and unloading process. In any warehouse or facility investing in quality dock tools is key to a safe, efficient and productive handling.

Types of Levelers

When choosing the right dock leveler for your loading dock there are several types to consider, each with its own advantages. Pit levelers are installed in the dock and provide a seamless transition between the dock and the truck bed making them ideal for handling a wide range of tools and heavy loads. These levelers come in mechanical and hydraulic models; hydraulic pit levelers are popular for their ease of use, higher capacities and added strength often with grease fittings for smoother performance and longer life. Edge of dock levelers mounted to the edge of the dock are a cost effective alternative with lighter loads or less frequent use. They come in mechanical and hydraulic models with hydraulic models offering more
