The Vestil FM-2078 Mechanical Edge-O-Dock is a heavy-duty dock leveler designed to bridge the gap between a loading dock and trailer beds, enabling efficient, safe material handling during loading and unloading. This 78-inch ramp wide unit is rated for a uniform capacity of 20,000 lb., making it suitable for standard to heavy-duty freight operations where trucks are backed into position and the lip engages the trailer bed for a stable deck transition.
Constructed with solid steel and a tread plate surface, the Edge-O-Dock provides a durable, non-slip platform that withstands daily industrial use. The design eliminates the need for a concrete recess in many installations, while requiring a steel dock edge, approach ramp, or approach plate on the dock face and a complete weld around the mounting plate for proper installation. The unit ships with bumpers and includes the necessary hardware and instructions to facilitate mounting to the dock face per installation guidelines.
Operation options include mechanical actuation for hands-on control, hydraulic manual pump for lifting and lip extension, or a 115V, 1-phase electric hydraulic system for automated raising and lip extension. Each variant returns to stored position only after the truck departs, ensuring the lip retracts behind the bumper face for a clear dock area. When selecting a version, consider the approach ramp length, the required servicing range above dock, and the need for compatible power or manual operation to fit your loading environment.
