Model VS - Vertical Storing Dock Leveler


Saves energy costs and reduces spillage by allowing truck doors to be opened once the truck is parked. Overhead door closes flush on pit floor for added energy savings. The VS Series is installed in a shallow continuous pit and includes a "controlled lowering" hydraulic system – individual buttons for up, lip out, down and reset. Dock attendant must push and hold button to lower unit.
