The Vestil EH-65-20 Electric Hydraulic Dock Leveler is designed to facilitate efficient loading and unloading at busy dock stations. With a 20,000 lb uniform capacity, this leveler supports frequent palletized freight handling and helps align trailers with dock heights to minimize handling time. The deck is operated by a simple push-button hydraulic system; when raised, the lip automatically extends to bridge the gap between the dock and the trailer, after which the operator can lower the deck back onto the trailer for secure transfer. An emergency stop is incorporated in the control box to quickly halt operation if needed, enhancing on-site safety during active loading cycles.
Constructed to accommodate high-usage applications, the unit includes telescopic steel toe guards on both sides that sit flush with the platform edge, providing added protection for personnel and equipment during dock transitions. The system features a service range of plus or minus 12 inches, allowing some adjustment to align with varying trailer heights and dock configurations. The platform returns to the level cross-traffic position automatically when the truck departs, cycling down to the setback position via a limit switch. This model lists standard 460V 3-Phase electrical supply as typical, with uniform capacities available up to 80,000 pounds, though the exact configuration should be confirmed with the factory for non-standard needs.
Users should plan for installation in an appropriate pit dimension and ensure the dock area supports the specified payload and power requirements. The product designation VESEH-65-20 identifies the specific unit with a 74W x 50L deck footprint and a 24D dimension, compatible with the stated 20,000 lb capacity. As always, verify site compatibility, control wiring, and maintenance access during procurement and prior to installation to ensure safe, reliable operation over time.
