A dock leveler is variable grade ramp platform that is designed to be used as a bridge between the loading dock floor surface and the surface of the load bed of a transporter vehicle. A Blue Giant dock leveler allows for safe and efficient loading and unloading of goods to/from a transporter vehicle using forklifts or pallet trucks. A dock leveler must be able to support extremely heavy loads. It must also must be able to service a wide range of load bed heights and accommodate unevenly distributed loads. A Blue Giant dock Leveler incorporates a "floating" rear hinge, otherwise know as Maintained Tilt , that allow the deck plate to tilt to accommodate canted load beds.
Strength is the hallmark of Blue Giant. In fact, we deliver one of the highest strength ratios in the industry with features like high tensile steel. We incorporate a minimum of 6 I-Beam deck supports in all A-Series Dock Levelers. At higher capacities that increases to 8 I-Beams. I-Beams offer greater strength support.
Models FH and FHE Dock Levelers are high performance systems. Push-button electro-hydraulic operation. Automatically actuated hydraulic beveled lip. Offers a wide range of safety features such as full range toe guard protection, hydraulic fail safe protection and the capability to be interlocked with our optional hydraulic truck restraint system with driver safety communications package.
Blue Giant model M-Mechanical Dock Levelers offer excellent value. To operate, pull the release chain. Blue Giant's heavy duty lift springs do the work. The rises and the lip is smoothly powered out of the locked position. Simply walk the deck down onto the truck bed and begin loading. On truck departure, the lip automatically releases and lowers allowing the unit to be returned to the cross traffic position.
