The Vestil EH-78-35 Hydraulic Dock Leveler is designed for high-usage loading docks, providing a reliable, hydraulic-assisted platform to bridge the gap between dock and trailer. Its operation is button-activated, with a deck raise initiating the hydraulic pump and an automatic lip extension at the raised position to facilitate loading and unloading. Once the operator releases the raise control, the deck lowers to rest on the trailer and, after the truck departs, the unit returns to level cross-traffic height through an integrated limit switch system.
Construction features include telescopic steel toe guards on both sides that align flush with the platform edge for added safety and protection, plus laminated bumpers to help absorb impact at the edges. The control box is equipped with a red emergency stop button to enhance on-site safety during operation. This model offers a uniform rated capacity of 35,000 pounds and a service range of at least ±12 inches above the dock to accommodate variations in trailer heights and loading conditions.
Typical applications include high-volume dock environments where consistent, efficient palletized and pallet-less loading is required. Operators should observe standard dock safety practices, including ensuring the trailer is secured and the deck is properly aligned before use. The EH-78-35 is specified with a 460V 3-Phase electrical supply, and Vestil notes that uniform capacities can be achieved up to higher ratings by factory adjustment or customization. This particular unit is listed with a brown/yellow color scheme, and a generous deck footprint to support routine material handling tasks at elevated duty cycles.
