The Vestil EH-68-40 Electric Hydraulic Dock Leveler is designed for high-usage dock environments where quick and reliable vehicle access is essential. This unit operates with a straightforward push-button control that powers a hydraulic deck raise, after which an integrated lip extension automatically activates for easier loading and unloading. Once a trailer is secured and the operator releases the raise control, the deck settles onto the trailer bed, and a built-in limit switch ensures the level position is maintained as the truck moves away. A red emergency stop in the control box provides a visible, accessible means to halt operation in an emergency. The design includes telescoping steel toe guards on both sides flush with the platform edge to enhance safety near the vehicle and dock area.
Constructed for durability in busy loading zones, the EH-68-40 supports a uniform capacity of 40,000 pounds, with a service range above the dock of 12 inches to accommodate varying trailer heights. This model is rated for 460V 3-phase operation and is available in configurations with higher capacity as needed from the factory. The unit ships as a single package and is sized to fit standard dock openings with its 74 inches of deck width, 86 inches in length, and 24 inches in depth, though exact pit dimensions and field installation details should be confirmed for each site. Operators should ensure proper alignment with trailers and confirm power availability prior to use, as well as periodic inspection of the lip extension mechanism and toe guard integrity for safe, consistent operation.
