TLH RETROFIT™

Description

FASTER, MORE PRECISE, SAFER & THE INDUSTRY’S BEST RETROFIT SOLUTION

The TLH 8’ RETROFIT™ from NORDOCK^® is the best available solution for underperforming docks & replacing existing dock pits. Retrofits into a standard pit (8’ length and 19” depth), which means you no longer must cut a new pit anywhere you have standard-size pit levelers.

Standard hinged-lip levelers can be a challenge with end-loaded trailers. With it’s telescoping-lip, the TLH RETROFIT™ makes loading & unloading cubed-out trailers easy, quick, and damage-free. Unlike vertical storing levelers, the TELESCOPING-LIP™ leveler eliminates the likelihood of a moving forklift impacting the stored leveler & provides additional and valuable floor space between & in front of the dock doors.
