Dock Levelers Bridge The Gap Between Trucks & The Dock
Loading Dock Levelers
Ensure Better Workflow While Minimizing Chronic Workplace Injuries
Loading & unloading products with conventional portable dock plates at the dock can lead to chronic workplace injuries. The design of outdated portable dock plates can result in dock shocks and body vibrations resulting in chronic neck and body injuries, and product spills and equipment damage.
To avoid these conditions, it’s important to invest in high-quality and built-to-last dock levelers with smooth transition designs.
A dock leveler with a smooth transition design offers the following benefits:
- Facilitates unobstructed end-loading
- Provides defense against vacant dock drop off accidents
- Provides a smooth-transition for forklifts to trailer-beds
- Reduces personnel from dock shocks and injuries
- Dock levelers are welded in place always ready and significantly reduces chance of injury as compared to a portable dock plate

Edge-of-Dock Leveler
Available in both mechanical and hydraulic models, the edge of dock levelers are economical and best for applications that don’t support the installation of pit style levelers. They are a safer choice when compared to dock plates. Additionally, they are also ergonomically efficient.
Hydraulic Edge-of-Dock Leveler
Embedded with solid-state technology, hydraulic edge of dock levelers offer convenience and quality similar to hydraulic dock levelers but are available at competitive prices. They are super easy to use and are available in various dynamic capacities such as 20000, 25000, 30,000 and even 35000lb.
Mechanical or Bar Lift Edge-of-Dock Leveler
