STEEL APPROACH RAMPS for EDGE-OF-DOCK LEVELERS

Before operating a dock leveler it is important to understand the basic concept of how this equipment is meant to work.

The edge-of-dock dock leveler is intended to bridge any gaps caused by height differences between a loading dock and a freight carrier. Filling these gaps makes for safer and more efficient freight transfer. Our mechanical edge-of-dock dock leveler is spring counterbalanced. The hand leveler is used to position the ramp and the lip onto the truck bed and also to return the dock leveler to the store position. The hand leveler also controls the lip extension link. Moving the lever forward extends the lip of the dock leveler onto the truck, and then off the truck after the load has been moved.
