Economical Leveller uses a self-contained hydraulic power unit for smooth,
efficient, push-button operation.
Operation
All operations activated by single push-button control. Self-contained
hydraulic power unit controls all functions of leveller, including
positive hydraulic hold of extended lip with lip remaining yieldable
at all times and fully powered as it returns to retracted position.

moving parts. Unit can service trucks 12" above and below dock.
Guided hinge assemblies allow 4" deck cant for service to out-of-level
trucks. Deck is free-floating with truck bed movement.
Structure
Leveller constructed of high strength steel for deck plate and lip.

support against underside of deck. Deck supports terminate at and
are welded to steel header plates. Header plates are a minimum of
8" deep at front and full depth of deck supports at rear. Full
width rear hinge is 1" dia. cold-rolled steel, shelf mounted,
in compression (not sheer) on rear frame of structural steel shapes.
