Common Types of Dock Levelers
Learn about some of the most common dock levelers and note unusual designs offered by some manufacturers.
Hydraulic Dock Leveler
Mechanical dock levelers are built for easy usability and durability. They are a sound choice for facilities with moderate traffic and basic operational needs. The levelers work using a spring system and a manual pull chain. Using no electricity helps reduce operational costs. Based on the design, they require very little maintenance and are trusted easy performers. They are the best choice for facilities that require dock levelers, but also have lower traffic or are on a tight budget.
Edge of Dock Levelers
For loading areas not too big, edge of dock levelers work perfectly. Edge of dock levelers work well for facilities with smaller budgets and space, and their height adjustment range is great. Compared to dock boards, edge of dock levelers provide a safer and more ergonomic footing and are much better at eliminating fall-related injuries. Edge of dock levelers are intended for standard loading dock heights. While a lot of businesses have edge of dock levelers, their limitations and tolerances are still huge, and their prices are still affordable, and with great safety features, edge of dock levelers are still a great option for businesses.
Vertical Dock Leveler
Vertical dock levelers feature a unique configuration and design allowing for an even more robust and effective seal when stored upright and under the dock. Although these levelers are hydraulic and vertical when not in use, they will stay vertically aligned. Because of these vertical design features, the levelers seal the door opening during the raised position. This prevents the loss of conditioned air and keeps the warehouse environment efficient. Vertical dock levelers help logistics companies keep a tight, controlled internal environment and reduce energy loss. This is more of a concern for companies that prioritize cleanliness and energy efficiency.
Loading Dock Scissor Leveler
Scissor lift levelers at loading docks are dependable for the varied heights of trucks. The scissor lift mechanism provides stable elevation adjustments. The levelers are hydraulic, allowing easy and safe operation, ideal for busy working conditions. Levelers provide efficient loading and unloading, even at varying heights.
Telescopic Dock Leveler
Vertical dock levelers feature a unique configuration and design allowing for an even more robust and effective seal when stored upright and under the dock. Although these levelers are hydraulic and vertical when not in use, they will stay vertically aligned. Because of these vertical design features, the levelers seal the door opening during the raised position. This prevents the loss of conditioned air and keeps the warehouse environment efficient. Vertical dock levelers help logistics companies keep a tight, controlled internal environment and reduce energy loss. This is more of a concern for companies that prioritize cleanliness and energy efficiency.
