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. To store the leveler, the operator presses the raise button until the lip fully retracts, then releases to allow the leveler to lower into its stored position.
The standard 18” long lip projects 13” beyond a 4” bumper to engage a truck bed 12” above or below the floor level.
CONSTRUCTION
The platform is a unitized welded structure with continuous welds at the beam, header plate and lugs for maximum strength. The deck plate, lip plate, beam sections and lugs are constructed of minimum 55,000 PSI yield material.
Deck support structure includes wide flange “I” beams continuously welded to end plates and welded side guards that provide additional platform strength.
The continuous rear hinge provides 4” of side-to-side tilt with no pinch point. The frame has seven solid steel rear supports, an open design for easy pit cleaning and lip supports that prevent illegal entry when the door is closed.
