Edge Dock Leveler

An edge dock leveler is a type of loading dock equipment used to bridge the gap between a loading dock and a truck or trailer. It is typically made of heavy-duty steel and is designed to provide a smooth transition for forklifts and other equipment moving between the dock and the truck.Unlike pit-style dock levelers, which are installed in a recessed pit in the loading dock, edge dock levelers are mounted on the edge of the dock. This makes them easier to install and maintain, as they do not require excavation or modification of the dock structure.Edge dock levelers typically have a hinged lip that extends out to bridge the gap between the dock and the truck. They are operated manually or with hydraulic systems, which allow for easy adjustment of the lip height to accommodate different truck heights.Some edge dock levelers also feature safety features such as lip locks, which secure the lip in place during loading and unloading, and safety legs, which provide additional support and stability.
