An edge type dock leveler is a compact and easy-to-install dock leveler used to bridge the gap between the loading dock and the truck. This edge type dock leveler helps with safe and efficient loading and unloading. Edge dock levelers are installed directly on the dock face, unlike full-size pit levelers. This makes them ideal for facilities with limited or no space, as well as situations where the dock and truck bed heights are similar. You can choose from manual and hydraulic versions. Manual types use a lever or handle for convenient operation, while hydraulic types are just as easy, using a push-button control. Edge type dock levelers are strong, able to lift light to medium-weight loads, and have different weight capacities up to 35,000 pounds. They are efficiently designed, easy to install, and dependable. They are often found in warehouses, trucking terminals, and wherever it is necessary to bridge dock-to-truck.
Benefits:
Space Saving:
The device installs directly to the dock edge, so no pit is needed—perfect for tight spaces.
More Affordable:
Initial and maintenance costs are lower than those of pit levelers.
Easy to Install:
Most docks can be set up and retrofitted quickly with minimal construction.
Enhanced Safety:
A sturdy bridge maintains balance while transferring goods from trucks to warehouse level and helps comply with Oklahoma Safety and Health Administration standards. Also helps reduce slips, trips, and falls.
Efficient Operation:
Quick, smooth transitions for pallet trucks and forklifts allow fast loading and unloading operations.
