Dock levelers feature a pull chain, which are usually connected to hydraulic or electric powered pump.
Another essential industrial device used for bridging the gap between the dock and any vehicle is the Dock Leveler. Just like the dock plates, boards and ramps, dock levelers also have flat surface with embossed patterns and are usually made with industrial grade galvanized steel. However, dock levelers are not portable; they are generally installed in docks or mounted on concrete pits.
Dock levelers are not simple steel platforms; they feature pull chain which can either be connected to hydraulic or electric pump. These devices also feature an inclined construction for easier, faster loading and unloading applications. Dock levelers are strong enough to handle motorized vehicles and extreme weights. Since levelers are made with premium grade materials and feature a recessed surface; weathering and proper drainage will never be a problem.
One of the most favored manufacturers of dock levelers is VESTIL. They offer high quality hydraulic-powered levelers which feature automatic cross-traffic return, full floating and self adjusting mechanism.
