With an Edge Of Dock Leveler 20EP78 Hydraulic you’ll gain the benefits of a pit leveler without the extensive labor and upfront costs associated with installation and upkeep. Simply mounted directly to the face of your dock, an edge of dock leveler (EOD) provides dependable access to trailers ±5” above and below the loading dock. The standard manual model actuates via a self storing handle that relies on a high torsion spring and Latch assembly, allowing the lip to raise up and glide onto the bed of the trailer with less than 45lbs of force. When done loading you can either let the leveler fall back to the resting position as the truck leaves or cycle it back with the handle.
