Optimize Low Docks for Safe, Efficient Loading
Elevate your warehouse operations with a simple to install Lo-Dock Leveler (Model LD). This innovative edge-of-dock leveler mounts directly to the dock floor and face via an integrated ramp, raising low docks from 3" to 20". Perfect for docks below standard height (e.g., - 48"), it maximizes the working range of your leveler ±5" for gas/propane forklifts or ±3" for all other equipment. No welding or costly alterations required; just bolt on and get loading.
Capacities: 20,000–30,000 lbs | Widths: 66"– 84"

- Height Adjustment Without Hassle: Raises docks 3"–20" to align with optimal heights (48" for Dry Van LTL freight, 50" for reefer), to get the most out of the ±5" range for gas forks and ±3" for electric/pallet jacks.
- Ergonomic Operation: Mechanical spring counterbalance and self-storing handle; latch catch for smooth placement.
- Safety-First Design: Conforms to ANSI MH30.2, OSHA, and CS-202-55 standards. Includes molded bumpers (13"x10"x4") and blocks; lip tilts 1" for out-of-level compensation and floats for vertical deflection.
- Versatile and Modular: Compatible with hydraulic retrofits; modular ramp available for raising height of existing EOD.
- Durability for Heavy Use: Heavy-duty steel construction with 1-year structural warranty. Modular parts for easy repair.
- Maintenance: Grease hinges twice yearly, inspect every 6 months (30 days for multi-shift).
- Cost Savings: Avoids expensive pit installations.
No welding required, install in 8 easy steps with basic tools. Follow our Owner’s Manual & Installation Guide for step-by-step instructions.
- Position Lo-dock leveler into desired location.
- With Lo-dock in position, mark holes centers for mounting.
- Move the ramp out of position and drill over marks with 7/8" concrete drill bit.
- Place expansion shields into holes with treads facing down. Ramp side expansion shield anchors installed at an angle.
- Re-position Lo-dock and anchor with ½" flat head socket cap screws 3-1/2" long.
- Anchor the front and side gussets of the Lo-dock leveler with ¾"x 4" wedge anchors. NOTE: ANY GAP BETWEEN TOP OF DOCK AND LEVELER STRUCTURE AT THE DOCK FACE MUST BE SHIMMED (STEEL).
- Remove bolt from bottom of handle and position handle into sleeve tube with bend facing away from dock face. Re-install bolt and nut into bottom of handle.
- Test unit for correct operation. (See operating instructions for mechanical levelers.)
