Selecting the Right Dock Leveler

Mechanical Dock Levelers

Mechanical Dock Levelers
These are an economical solution to basic applications, while still providing strength and durability. These levelers use a pull chain activation to raise the deck. The operator then simply walks the deck back down to the bed of a trailer or to a stored position. Our mechanical levelers are equipped with a cam and roller counterbalance system, and a complete range auto-releasing hold down mechanism for full float conditions.
