Pit Style Hydraulic Dock Leveler The HP Series hydraulic dock leveler is designed with dependability and toughness in mind for your medium to lighter duty applications. The “HP” offers the same easy push button smooth, consistent operation as the heavy duty H series and the same built in safety, durability and toughness. Easy clean out and servicing are features of all McGuire levelers. Your budget, your safety and trouble free service are always number one with McGuire. They are also most often mounted in a pre-formed pit at the dock commonly used to reduce the grade between the dock floor and the trailer bed. Various sizes and capacities allow for a large amount of flexibility. Hydraulic levelers have added safety features and save time in operation and maintenance. This series comes in 6’, 6’6” & 7’ standard widths and 6’, 8’ & 10’ standard lengths with 12’ and other lengths available. Standard capacities are 25K, 30K, 35K and 40K CIR (Comparative Industry Rating).

• Fast, safe install with height adjusters operated while standing on building floor-no need for installer to be under leveler and no shimming/welding needed in rear of pit
• Adjusters quickly position the dock level with the building floor Improved safety — the installer is never under the leveler
• Levelers ship with four steel fork loops bolted to the deck, which improves stability when lifting from a truck. The loops help with forklift placement into a pit from inside or outside the building, and helps to minimize levelers sliding while stacked on top of each other
• Cut outs identify weld points to the curb angle for faster installation
• Lifter arm is mounted to the rear of the frame instead of sitting on pit floor. No need to shim or weld under the lifter arm

Durable Design and Finish

• Base frame is open all the way to the rear of the pit for easy access with no cross beams or places to trap debris
• C-channel beams create a strong deck structure and allows moisture to dry
• Deck design eliminates the transition angle which is a frequent repair on many levelers
• Deck hinge is fully supported across the entire width of the deck to enhance long term durability
• Durable textured powder coat finish
• Compliant with ANSI MH30.1-2022

Smooth Building-To-Truck Transition

• Designed with an optimized beveled lip to reduce bumps and damage to cargo and material handling equipment
• Reduces shocks and jolts to workers by creating a level pathway
• Facilitates fast movement of material handling equipment and forklifts

Easy-to-Use and Ergonomic

• Release chain for deck operation is user friendly and easy to pull
• The hold down is easy to operate
• Leveler is well-balanced for quick, easy articulation and automatically maintains positive lip contact with trailer movements
