Air Powered Dock Levelers

Overview

An air-powered dock leveler is an efficient and cost-effective option for single push-button operation needs. Its durable air tower raises the leveler in seconds, activating the mechanical lip and locking it in place until lowered into the trailer bed. Keeping the lip locked in the raised position allows it to be placed more accurately and helps eliminate time wasted on repositioning or unsafe practices. With safety features that provide protection from free-fall, vacant drop-off, and potential chronic injury, the air-powered leveler’s low maintenance design helps keep facilities operating at full capacity with a lower cost of ownership.

The Power of Air:

- Activated by a single push-button control station, eliminating the need for bending or pulling.

- The blower motor inflates a two-stage airbag via high-volume, low-pressure (HVLP) for efficient operation.

- After releasing the button, the airbag deflates, setting the platform on the trailer bed.

- Environmentally-friendly alternative to oil-powered hydraulics.

- Redesigned lip operation system provides positive powered deployment and automatic release when lowering on the trailer bed or storing in a parked position.

Product Highlights:

- Finished with a complete powder coating system for increased durability and longevity.

- PVC-coated polyester fibers make the airbag resistant to chemical or puncture damage.

- Mechanical fall-safe legs prevent platform free-fall, minimizing the risk of worker injury and equipment damage.

- Platform flexes up to 4" (102 mm) under load, maintaining full-width contact between the lip and the truck bed.

- Optional features include DLB, traffic light system, and truck restraint options for a fully integrated loading dock safety system.
