The Vestil EH-78-45 is an electric hydraulic dock leveler designed for high-traffic loading docks where consistent, fast positioning is essential. With a hydraulic raise mechanism and a load-bearing deck, the unit offers a simple push-button operation to raise the platform; once elevated, the lip automatically extends to bridge the gap to the trailer, facilitating efficient loading and unloading. After the operator releases the raise control, the deck settles onto the trailer and remains aligned for cross-dock traffic. The integrated red emergency stop on the control box provides an immediate shutdown option for safety during operation.
Constructed to support heavy usage, this model features telescoping steel toe guards on both sides that sit flush with the platform edge, helping to protect workers and equipment during entry and exit. The system is designed to return to the level cross-traffic position automatically when the trailer departs, using a limit switch to ensure the deck rests flat on the dock edge and remains ready for the next cycle. The unit is configured for 460V 3-phase service, aligning with industrial dock environments that require robust power and reliable performance under demanding conditions.
This particular configuration provides a uniform capacity of 45,000 pounds and a service range above the dock of 12 inches, enabling it to accommodate trailers with varying heights. The package size is listed as Each, indicating a single leveler per install, and the product is specified with the model designation EH-78-45. When selecting a leveler, verify power availability, pit dimensions (86"W x 86"L x 24"D for this model), and required clearances, as well as any factory options for lip extension or bumper configurations to ensure compatibility with your dock and loading workflow.
