Series "A" Model "M" Mechanical Dock Leveler

Box Beam Construction
30,000; to 50,000 lb. Rated Capacities
(13,636 to 22,727 kg.)

Comes complete with friction type hold down mechanism and 4” (101mm) maintained deck tilt.

Type: Recessed, pit installed hinged dock leveler. Manually 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: Mechanically operated lip that automatically extends and locks into position. 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.

Mechanical Operating System: No manual lifting involved. Attendant pulls release chain that activates the friction type hold down system designed to minimize cross traffic bounce and provide instant hold. The deck is driven up by heavy-duty lift springs and the lip is smoothly powered out. Dock is then "walked” down onto the truck bed. When the truck departs, the lip releases, allowing the unit to be returned to the cross-traffic position.

Rated Capacity: Welding procedure compliant with A.W.S.D1.1 98 specifications. All units rated in compliance with ANSI MH14.1. Standard capacities available from 30,000lb to 50,000lb (13,636kg to 22,727kg). Structural deck support to include minimum six each high-tensile solid steel I-beam members.

Safety Devices:

• Full operating range metal toe guard protection (may be optional in certain markets, specify)
• Mechanical fall safe legs to limit free fall and below level lip control for end-loading (may be optional in certain markets, specify)
• Cross traffic support - lip engaged in saddles
