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 and maintain a horizontal lip on the bed of the truck at all times. To store the dock leveler, the operator presses the control button activating 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 option reduces above dock service range.
CONSTRUCTION
Unitized platform structure with dual side 33% beam to deck weld pattern and continuous
welds at the beam to header plate and lugs for maximum strength. The deck plate, lip plate and beams are constructed from high-tensile 55,000 PSI-Yield steel and safety tread top running surface.
The deck support structure includes dual flange style beams, center deck support and welded side guards for superior 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 prevents illegal building entry when the overhead door is closed.
Full width zinc plated front & rear hinge rods are constructed from SAE 1045 superior shaft and factory coated with anti-seize lubricant. A single NEMA 4 push-button control operates the 120-Volt fan motor.
