Designed to withstand the most demanding material handling environments, our hydraulic dock levelers are an indispensable investment for any modern warehouse, distribution center, or manufacturing plant.

Key Features & Benefits

1. Unrivaled Safety & Control

• Smooth Hydraulic Operation: Provides precise, controlled ascent and descent, minimizing jarring and potential damage to cargo or personnel. Features push-button activation for effortless control.
• Velocity Fuses: Automatically locks the leveler in place if a trailer pulls away prematurely or in the event of hose rupture, preventing rapid free-fall and ensuring maximum safety.
• Full-Range Toe Guards: Offers continuous protection for personnel's feet during operation, covering the sides of the deck throughout its entire working range.
• Maintenance Struts: Integrated safety legs provide secure support, allowing for safe and easy under-deck inspection and maintenance.
• Non-Slip Diamond Plate Deck: Enhanced traction surface reduces the risk of slips and falls, especially in wet or oily conditions.
• Automatic Lip Extension: The hinged lip extends automatically once the deck reaches the truck bed height, ensuring a seamless and secure bridge.

2. Boosted Efficiency & Productivity

• Rapid Operation Cycle: The hydraulic system allows for quick and efficient positioning, significantly reducing truck turnaround times and increasing throughput.
• Intuitive Push-Button Controls: User-friendly controls simplify operation, requiring minimal training and reducing human error.
• Self-Cleaning Lip Hinge: Minimizes debris build-up in the critical lip hinge area, ensuring consistent operation and reducing maintenance needs.
• Continuous Duty Motor: Designed for high-volume, continuous operation without overheating, ideal for busy docks.

3. Extreme Durability & Reliability

• Heavy-Duty Steel Construction: Built from robust, high-tensile steel, designed to withstand constant impact, heavy loads, and abrasive environments.
• Reinforced Deck Structure: Strategically placed steel support channels distribute weight evenly across the deck, preventing deflection and extending the leveler's lifespan.
• Robust Hydraulic Cylinders & Power Unit: High-quality, leak-resistant hydraulic components ensure reliable performance and minimal downtime.
• Durable Powder-Coated Finish: Provides superior corrosion resistance and a long-lasting aesthetic, even in harsh weather conditions.

4. Optimal Performance & Versatility

• Wide Operating Range: Accommodates a broad spectrum of truck bed heights, from low chassis to high cube trailers, ensuring versatility for diverse fleets.
• Standard & Custom Sizes: Available in a variety of capacities (from 30,000 lbs to 80,000 lbs and beyond) and deck dimensions to perfectly match your specific operational requirements.
• Auto-Return to Cross-Traffic Position: When not in use, the leveler automatically returns to a safe, level position, allowing unrestricted cross-dock traffic.
• Pit-Mounted Design: The most common and robust installation method, integrating seamlessly into your dock structure.

5. Low Maintenance & Cost of Ownership

• Fewer Moving Parts: Compared to mechanical systems, hydraulic levelers have fewer wear components, leading to reduced maintenance requirements.
• Accessible Components: Designed for easy access to hydraulic and electrical components, simplifying routine inspections and servicing.
• Energy-Efficient Power Unit: Optimized for lower power consumption, contributing to reduced operational costs over time.
