OverviewThis vertical storing hydraulic dock leveler provides environmental and security control and a smooth transition between the warehouse floor and the trailer bed. It supports diverse loading dock layouts including drive-thru configurations and is designed as part of the Smooth Transition Dok System® to reduce dock shock and whole-body vibration.
Primary Benefits- Drive-thru approach & environmental control: allows trailer doors to open inside the facility to reduce dust, debris and rodents, maintain positive pressure and improve cold-chain integrity.
- Smooth Transition Dok System®: minimizes bumps and gaps to reduce dock shock, product damage and operator discomfort.
- Security & supply chain integrity: enables door-closed loading procedures to reduce contamination and pilferage risk.
Safety Features- Safe-T-Pit® (optional): sensors disable leveler operation when movement is detected in the pit, keeping operators at the control panel until safe.
- Constant-Contact Controls: allow the operator to extend the lip or stop platform and lip at any point during travel.
- Non-Adjustable Velocity Fuse: helps stop rapid leveler descent within 3" (76 mm) under heavy load for free-fall protection.
- Access Brace (standard on continuous pit): improves pedestrian safety during pit entry and maintenance.
Productivity & Operation- Boots-off-the-ground drive-thru design: reduces personnel time entering/exiting the facility and increases loading/unloading efficiency.
- Self-Flexing Deck: L-beam stringers permit up to 4" (102 mm) deck flex so the deck maintains contact with the trailer bed after load removal.
- Over-Center Tilt-Back Storage: centers storage to reduce hydraulic system load and extend equipment life.
- Biodegradable hydraulic fluid option: environmentally preferable hydraulic fluid available.
Connected & Integrated Options- Integration with Dok-Commander® Pro, Dok-Lok® restraints and Rite-Vu™ systems for combined controls and visual communication.
- Compatible with Rite-Hite ONE digital platform and Smart Leveler Package (sensors under deck) for cycle counts, utilization metrics and real-time alerts to support maintenance planning.
Applications- Food and cold storage facilities requiring tight environmental control, contamination reduction and cold-chain integrity.
- Facilities requiring drive-thru dock configurations or enhanced dock security.
