McGuire offers a hydraulic dock leveler to meet any of your dock equipment needs while providing low lifetime ownership costs and years of trouble free service with the industry’s best built-in safety. They are 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. The H Series comes in 6’, 6’6” & 7’ standard widths and 6’, 8’ & 10’ standard lengths with 12’ and other lengths available. Standard capacities for the “H” Series are 45K, 55K, 75K and 100K 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
