Blue Giant HU7008-35 Hydraulic Dock Leveler is a high-capacity loading dock solution designed to bridge the gap between trailers and the dock deck with precision and reliability. The unit operates via a user-friendly hydraulic deck and lip system, activated by a single push-button control station, and is built around a robust deck supported by multiple high-tensile solid steel U-beam members. The 7' x 8' nominal deck size, 35,000 lb static capacity, and a 16" lip (tapered on 7' wide models) deliver substantial load handling for demanding material-handling environments, while the fixed rear hinge with lateral ramp flex accommodates non-level trailer beds to maintain safer, smoother operation.
Constructed to minimize maintenance and reduce total cost of ownership, the hydraulic components are designed for efficiency and longevity. The system includes a self-contained 1 HP power pack mounted under the deck and a velocity-fuse safety mechanism to enhance fall protection. The control station is rated for harsh environments (NEMA 4X/IP65) and is compact, allowing for straightforward installation and operation from a single point of access. Optional independent lip control is available for all models, which can help further reduce cycle times and energy use when paired with the appropriate Blue Genius control interface.
This dock leveler is equipped with features intended to simplify daily use and maintenance, such as a beveled lip, a self-purging hydraulic loading deck cylinder, and a V-grooved maintenance strut. It comes with two laminated bumpers configured to match the model width and a full range of covered guarding to help protect operators during operation. When selecting this unit, consider the dock height, trailer bed variation, and the need for independent lip control to ensure compatibility with existing dock infrastructure and workflow requirements.
