The Vestil EH-68-35 Hydraulic Dock Leveler is designed for high-usage dock environments where efficient, automated loading and unloading are essential. This electric hydraulic unit uses a simple push-button operation to raise the deck, with the lip automatically extending at the raised position to facilitate smooth transitions onto trailers. After the operator releases the raise control, the deck descends to rest on the trailer, and when the truck pulls away, a limit switch triggers the deck to return to the level cross-traffic position for safe, continuous operation.
Key safety and construction features include a control box with a red emergency stop button and telescopic steel toe guards on both sides, flush with the platform edge. These elements are designed to enhance operator protection during dock activity and reduce potential pinch points. The unit incorporates a built-in service range of +/- 12 inches, allowing some lateral adjustment to accommodate vehicle variances and dock configurations. A pair of laminated bumpers are included to provide impact absorption at the dock edge.
This model offers a uniform 35,000 lb. capacity, suitable for medium- to heavy-duty dock traffic. The specific installation size for this variant is 74 inches wide by 86 inches long with a 24-inch deck depth, and it is configured for 460V 3-phase electrical supply. For planning and compatibility, confirm the factory-reported overall footprint and electrical requirements at your facility, as capacities and options can vary by model. The unit ships as a single package unit ready for installation in appropriate dock pits, with necessary structural considerations and wiring required per standard installation practices.
