OPERATION
The operator presses the control button until the deck is raised, and the lip is fully extended. Releasing the button allows the lip to lower onto the truck bed.
The operator stores the leveler by pressing the control button until the lip fully retracts.
The standard 16” long lip projects 11” beyond a 4” bumper to engage a truck bed 12” above or below floor level.
CONSTRUCTION
The platform is a unitized welded structure with continuous welds at the beam, header plate and hinge tubes for maximum strength. The deck plate, lip plate and beam sections are constructed of minimum 55,000 PSI yield high-tensile material.
The fixed rear hinge provides 4” of side-to-side tilt with no pinch point. The frame has six solid steel rear supports, an open front design for easy pit cleaning, and lip supports that prevent illegal entry when the door is closed.
The front and rear hinge rods are SAE 1045 superior shaft, zinc coated with factory applied anti-seize lubricant.
ELECTRICAL/HYDRAULICS
The power unit is a frame mounted integral assembly fully tested and oil filled. The motor is a totally enclosed non-ventilated type available in all voltages.
The control box is a NEMA 12 dust tight enclosure with motor starter, thermal overload, and single push button. The hydraulic cylinder is a heavy-duty design with a polished chrome rod, guide bearing and high-pressure seals. The hydraulic hose is high-pressure SAE 100R2 with permanent fittings attached.
