Protected SINGLE-CHAMBER™ Balanced Air Bag Design

The reinforced PVC coated SINGLE-CHAMBER™ Balanced Air Bag is protected over 99% of the time from environmental contamination.
The SINGLE-CHAMBER™ balanced design reduces material, redundant air chambers and unwanted seams which eliminates friction.

PULL-ACTION™ Lifting System

The patented PULL-ACTION™ lifting system maximizes efficiency by using the entire power of the bag to lift the deck. Increased efficiency means less bags, seams, travel and cycle time resulting in long term improved performance.
The compact and open design allows for easy inspection of all working components including the deck that saves time and improves safety.

AUTO-DESCENT Y-LIP™ Fully Yieldable Extension System

The AUTO-DESCENT Y-LIP™ fully yieldable extension system uses the natural weight of the deck to activate the lip, unlike higher maintenance flip lip designs that compromise available lifting power.

Easy to Install

The AIRDOCK® SUPER-DUTY™ Series Dock Leveler is a self-contained system with the airbag safely stored away from forklift contact.
The leveler is lifted from the deck through rear pockets for easy forklift handling.
The no damage shipping design keeps the fan motor and lift system entirely safe during forklift handling.

AIR-STOP™ Deck Control

With this unique option the dock operator has the ability to arrest the descent of the deck with a push of a button to avoid an obstruction or for safety and convenience in positioning the maintenance supports.

Description

The AIRDOCK® SUPER-DUTY™ Series of Air-Powered Dock Levelers is the smart choice for the most demanding loading docks to receive the absolute best long term return on investment available.
The patented lifting system utilizes a revolutionary PROTECTED SINGLE CHAMBER™ balanced air bag and PULL-ACTION™ design reduces parts and friction while allowing easy inspection and access to the deck assembly.
The 60,000 Ib. capacity rating is higher than any previous industry offering in an air-powered leveler, a true testament to the superior design.
The self-contained design provides easy handling & installation with a fully protected bag and a lift system that does not contact the floor of the pit.
Nominal platform sizes available include 6, 6.5 & 7 feet wide x 6, 8 & 10 feet long.
Standard features include full operating range telescoping side guards, night security locks, integral maintenance supports, safety black & yellow side skirt labels, and two heavy-duty dock bumpers.

Operation

The operator presses the control button until the deck is fully raised.
Releasing the button activates the AUTO-DESCENT LIP™ system that extends the lip as the deck lowers placing it smoothly onto the truck bed.
The leveler will float up and down and side to side with the truck during loading to maintain lip contact at all times.
To store the dock leveler, the operator presses the control button that activates the lift system allowing the lip to automatically retract to a pendant position, releasing the button deactivates the air power to store the leveler in a fully supported position level with the building floor.
The standard 16” lip will extend out 11” beyond a 4” bumper and engage a truck 12” above and below building floor level.
Note: Longer lip options & 6’ long models have reduced above dock service range.

Construction

Unitized platform structure with dual side 33% beam to deck weld pattern and continuous welds at the beams to header plate and lugs for maximum strength.
The deck plate, lip plate and beams are constructed from high-tensile steel and safety tread top running surface.
The deck support structure includes wide flange style beams and welded side guards that provide additional platform strength.
The frame has four upright, two forward supports and a fixed continuous smooth transition rear hinge to eliminate pinch, trip or impact point.
A security lock system is provided to prevent illegal building entry when the overhead door is closed.
Full width zinc plated rear hinge rod and hard chrome plated front hinge rod are both factory coated with anti-seize lubricant.
A single NEMA 4 push-button control operates the 120-Volt fan motor.
