mechanicalmanually-operated

Product overview
The RHM-4000 is a mechanical dock leveler engineered for economical loading-dock environments. It uses a manual pull-chain for deployment and provides a controlled transition between facility floor and trailer bed to support forklift operations and reduce exposure to impact and vibration.

Key features

• Manual pull-chain operation for simple, low-cost installations
• Smooth Transition Dok System®: two-point crown control, constant-radius rear hinge and extended lip chamfer for gradual approach
• 9-tooth pawl & ratchet hold-down with tension relief to prevent unexpected pop-up
• Yieldable lip to reduce damage risk if a trailer backs into the lip
• Additional L-beams under deck and formed front header for structural stability

Benefits

• Safer dock operations through controlled lip behavior and positive hold-down mechanisms
