Hydraulic Dock Leveler

What is a hydraulic dock leveler? Hydraulic dock levelers are operated with the push of a button on a control panel, no longer requiring the operator to manually use a pull-chain. Instead, the operator uses a control or a button to raise and lower the leveler and extend or store the lip.Dock levelers bridge the gap and height difference between the dock and the trailer. They also compensate for the up and down float of the trailer bed during loading. A dock leveler includes a ramp (hinged along its rear edge) and a lip (hinged at the front of the ramp).
