Types of Dock Levelers:

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.
Hydraulic Dock Levelers ✓ The safest loading dock. These levelers prevent free fall in a truck pull-out situation. These dock levelers are push-button activated and have the highest capacity available. They utilize fully powered raise and lip extension functions with hydraulic cylinders and individual or multi-unit hydraulic pump and motor stations.	Hydraulic Dock Levelers
Air Powered Dock Levelers	Air Powered Dock Levelers These levelers are an economical alternative to hydraulic levelers, but are still operated with a push-button activation for ease of use. They have a mid-range capacity with an air bag or bellows system used to raise and lower the deck. These usually don't require any electricity in the dock pit.
