The Blue Giant HU6006-40 Hydraulic Dock Leveler is a heavy-duty loading-dock solution designed to bridge the gap between the trailer and dock floor with hydraulic ease. It operates at the touch of a button, delivering controlled raises and lowers to accommodate varying trailer heights and create a stable, level work surface for efficient loading and unloading. The unit features a fixed rear hinge with a lateral ramp flex designed to compensate for non-level trailer beds, helping maintain consistent contact and reduce jostling during operation. A beveled lip and an integrated 16-inch lip extension contribute to safer, smoother transitions for pallets, skids, and equipment.
Construction emphasizes durability and reliability. The deck is supported by a minimum of six high-tensile solid steel U-beam members, and both the deck and lip use high-tensile steel for long-term resistance to wear. The hydraulic system includes a self-contained 1 HP power pack mounted under the deck, with independent lip control as an option to shorten cycle times and conserve energy when paired with the Blue Genius touch control panel. Safety is reinforced with features such as a velocity fuse fall-safety mechanism and full-length toe guards painted safety yellow. The system’s user interface is a NEMA 4X/IP65-rated control station, designed to withstand harsh dock environments.
This model offers a 40,000 lb static capacity with a nominal deck size of 6' by 6'. For compatibility, it uses standard components such as dual laminated bumpers appropriate to the specified widths and a maintenance-friendly V-grooved strut. When selecting, note the package is listed as “Each,” and the lip length is 16 inches with a tapered profile on broader models. Maintenance considerations include keeping the hydraulic circuit purged and ensuring the control station remains compliant with enclosure rating in your facility.
