Edge of Dock Leveler

Product Description

Introduction of Edge-of-dock Leveler
These levelers are mounted to the outside of the face of the loading dock and are an economical alternative to portable plates for medium traffic loading docks. They are suitable where the height differences between warehouse floor and vehicle floor are minimal and is an ideal replacement for unsafe and out of date dock-plates. As such, they're the most economical and typically the easiest levelers to install. Their drawback is limited size and weight capacities.
Components and construction
The Edge-of-Dock Leveler is built up of the following components:

1. Platform Assembly:
Platform to be constructed of unitized, robotically welded high tensile steel safety tread deck plate. Exclusive "I" beam deck supports optimize twist resistance and stress distribution. Deck to be on 8-15Tons static capacities; On 5-10Tons dynamic capacities.
2. Lip Assembly:
Lip to be 5/8"(16mm) thick, 153/4" (400mm)length. Self-cleaning lug-style lip hinge. All units to be 16" high tensile steel safety tread lip plate with chamfered leading edge. Lip rod to be a minimum of 1" solid steel on all capacities.
3. Counterbalance:
Oil-tempered chromium silicon steel extension spring counterbalance with single adjustment point for high strength, durability, and easy walk-down.
4. Open Subframe structure:

9. Float Compensation:
Allows for vertical carrier deflection when lip is in contact with truck bed.
10. Bumpers:
Unit to include two heavy-duty dock bumpers model B300-250F, 10" x 12"(250mm x 300mm).
Materials
The deck is made of anti-slip checker plate and reinforced on the underside using steel profiles. The lip, which is also made of anti-slip checker plate, is connected to the deck across its full width by a pivot arrangement.
