Permanently attach these levelers to a dock to bridge the gap between the edge of the dock and a truck. Use them when loading and unloading with forklifts, pallet trucks, and hand trucks. Each leveler has a deck plate, a hinged lip plate, and two bumpers that are attached to bumper blocks. Dual extension springs act as a counterbalance to aid the leveler as it mechanically lifts the lip plate onto the truck bed; the springs return the lip plate to its original position when the truck pulls away. The plates have a diamond surface texture for positive traction.

To install, weld levelers to a dock face with a minimum 8" wide steel channel embedded into concrete at the dock edge. If the dock edge does not have an 8" wide steel channel, use the optional installation kit (sold separately) for bolt-on mounting.

Style A include a lifting hook to raise the lip plate and come with a hanger for storing the lifting hook when not in use.

Style B have a self-storing handle instead of a lifting hook. Pull the handle back about 50° and then return it to its original vertical position to lift the lip plate. There's no need to bend, push, or lean.

Note: To determine load, take the gross weight of equipment, add typical load weight, and then multiply by two.

Raise vehicles up for maintenance jobs or elevate them to dock height for loading and unloading. These risers have a diamond surface texture for positive traction.

The heaviest dock plates we offer, these are built to endure high-traffic use. Forklift loops on the top flip up for easy maneuvering with a forklift and fold down when not in use. Use plates to bridge the gap between a truck and the dock when loading and unloading with forklifts, battery-operated hand trucks, and other powered equipment. They have a diamond surface texture for positive traction and lips on the sides lessen the chance of vehicle runoff. Plates have anchoring pins that you drop into any of the eight holes along their edges—this secures the plate in the space between the dock and the truck.
