Smooth Building-To-Truck Transition
- Designed to minimize bumps, gaps and damage to cargo and material handling equipment
- Reduces shocks and jolts to workers
- Facilitates fast movement of material handling equipment and forklifts
- Handle is easy to push/pull for comfortable and fast operation
- Handle range of motion keeps workers in a comfortable position
- Reduces bumps and trip hazards on deck and lip
- Rugged construction of lip and deck hinge provides durability for years of service
- Lip hinge sheds debris minimizing trapping and grinding between the lip deck junction causing fatigue
- Textured powder coat finish provides better traction for safety and helps to increase productivity. This durable finish also provides better corrosion protection and adhesion compared to wet paint
- Compliant with ANSI MH30.1-2022 which includes rigorous load testing requirements
- Compared to paint, our powder coat process has major environmental advantages
Mechanical Pit Leveler M68R & M78R
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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
- The snubber chain and maintenance brace are positioned at side edges allowing easy access to the pit for maintenance and cleaning
