About Dock Levelers
Dock levelers are loading dock equipment that helps bridge the gap between a truck and the loading dock. They are used to make the process of loading and unloading goods easier, faster, and safer. Dock levelers come in different types, materials, and sizes to suit a variety of applications.
Types of Dock Levelers
The most common type of dock leveler is an edge-of-dock leveler. This type is designed for use on docks with no pit or where space is limited. It consists of two pieces: the lip which bridges the gap between the truck and dock, and a deck which can be raised or lowered as needed. Other types include mechanical levelers, air powered levelers, hydraulic levelers, vertical storing dock levelers.
Materials Used for Dock Levelers
Dock levelers are typically made from steel or aluminum depending on their application. Steel is more durable but heavier than aluminum making it better suited for high-traffic areas while aluminum is lighter weight making it better suited for lighter duty applications. All models feature safety treads to provide sure footing when entering or exiting a truck.
Industries that Use Dock Levelers
Dock levelers are commonly used in warehouses and other industrial facilities where goods need to be loaded onto trucks quickly and safely. Professionals such as shipping managers rely on them to ensure smooth operations by providing easy access between trucks and docks while keeping workers safe from potential injuries.
