Series "A" Model FHE Hydraulic Dock Leveler


The FHE Model Dock leveler is a high performance, high capacity system designed to require minimal maintenance.

The FHE offers push-button electro-hydraulic operation with an automatically actuated hydraulic beveled lip plate.

All-Rite offers a range of safety features such as full range toe guard protection, hydraulic fall safe protection and the capability to be interlocked with our optional hydraulic truck restraint system with driver communications package.

The FHE comes equipped with a rugged, wall-mounted single shielded pushbutton control station which provides ease of operation.

The Hydraulic Lip Cylinder increases operating efficiency and reduces maintenance requirements considerably compared to mechanically actuated lips. The deck cylinder is equipped with a velocity fuse fall safe which limits free fall of the deck to within 3” (76mm).

The hydraulic power system is continuous duty rated with a 1 HP fan cooled (TEFC) motor available in single or three phase and a wide variety of voltage ratings. All electrical components are UL/CSA approved.

Type: Recessed, pit installed hinged dock leveler. Electro-hydraulic operated.

Vertical Travel: Working range of 12” (305mm) above and 12” (305mm) below dock level.

Automatic Vertical Compensation: Unit provides float of 12” (305mm) above and 12” (305mm) below dock level.

Automatic Lateral Compensation: Provides maintained side-to-side deck tilt of up to 4” (101mm) to compensate for canted truck beds.

Lip Operation: Hydraulically powered lip. Lip will yield under impact of incoming truck and will automatically drop pendant upon truck's departure. The length of the lip extension shall not be less than 16” (406mm) from the ramp edge.

Hydraulic Operating System: Easy to operate, quiet and smooth cycling. Electro-hydraulic raising and hydraulic lowering of the dock ramp controlled from a remote single or multi (pending model specified) pushbutton station. Includes means of lowering the dock ramp below platform level. The loaded ramp’s free fall is limited to not over 3” (76mm) by a hydraulic velocity fuse. Unit shall come complete with a 1HP, totally enclosed fan cooled (TEFC) motor and equipped with overload protection. Power pack mounted underneath the deck ramp.

Remote PB Control Station: A single operation push button control station with constant pressure “I” (UP), and thermal “R” (RESET) button. Control station is NEMA4 (water and dust tight) rated, 3¼”W x 6½”H x 5⅛”D (83 x 165 x 130mm) in size.

Rated Capacity: Welding procedure compliant with A.W.S.D1.1 98 specifications. All units rated in compliance with ANSI MH14.1. UL approved electrical components. Capacities available from 30,000lb to 80,000lb (13,636kg to 36,370kg). Structural deck support to include minimum six each high-tensile solid steel I-beam members.

Safety Devices:

  • Full operating range metal toe guard protection
  • Hydraulic velocity fuse “fall safe” to limit free fall up to 3” (76mm)
  • Cross traffic support - lip engaged in saddles
  • Corner safety stops
  • Telescopic v-grooved maintenance strut, integral to unit
  • Chamfered lip

Finish and Colour: Toe guards painted safety yellow as specified by ANSI Z535.1. Remainder of unit painted gray. High visibility OSHA safety striping on stationary side toe guards.
