The Vestil EH-78-20 is an electric hydraulic dock leveler designed for high-usage dock environments. Its simple push-button operation activates a hydraulic pump to raise the deck, and as it reaches the raised position, the lip automatically extends to facilitate loading and unloading. Once the deck is lowered onto the trailer, releasing the raise control allows it to settle, and a built-in limit switch helps return the unit to the level cross-traffic position when the truck leaves. The package includes safety features such as a red emergency stop on the control box and telescopic steel toe guards on both sides that sit flush with the platform edge for added protection during operation. With a uniform capacity of 20,000 lb, this model provides a robust solution for medium-duty to heavy-duty material handling tasks, supported by a service range that accommodates loading activities within +/- 12 inches.
This unit is configured for 460V 3-phase service, aligning with typical industrial power systems. The EH-78-20 is sized to fit larger dock envelopes and is specified with a platform width and length of 86 inches by 86 inches and a 24-inch deck depth, suitable for wide pallet loads and frequent trailer docking. When selecting a unit, consider the standard full-reach lip extension and the degree of elevation required for your trailers, as well as the surrounding pit dimensions and clearance needed for safe operation. Regular inspection of hydraulic lines, the emergency stop, and toe guards will help maintain safe and reliable performance in daily use.
