The Vestil FM-2572 Mechanical Edge-O-Dock Leveler is designed to bridge the gap between a loading dock and a trailer, enabling a stable working surface as goods are moved on and off trucks. This 72-inch ramp width and 25,000 lb. uniform capacity model attaches directly to the face of the dock, eliminating the need for a concrete recess. The unit features a tread plate surface to provide reliable, non-slip footing during use, and its solid steel construction supports demanding material handling tasks typical in industrial settings. With a compact installation footprint, the Edge-O-Dock is suited for docks where a robust, hydraulically assisted edge platform is required without extensive site modification.
Construction and operating details show two mechanical actuation options. The mechanical edge mechanism uses a Pocket-Lip pull to extend the lip onto the truck bed, then automatically retracts behind the bumper face as the trailer departs. The hydraulic options give users a choice between a manual hydraulic hand pump, which uses a lowering valve to seat the deck on the trailer, and an electric hydraulic version that raises the deck and extends the lip with a 115V, single-phase power supply. Each configuration includes the necessary power unit or hand pump, mounting hardware, hydraulic lines, and lubricant. This versatility supports varying site preferences and maintenance capabilities while ensuring safe alignment with trailer heights within the service range above the dock.
When planning installation, ensure a compatible dock edge, approach ramp or plate is present, and that the mounting plate is bolted to the dock face per installation instructions. The design relies on continuous welds across the mounting plate and secure anchoring to the dock face for proper function. The unit ships as a complete setup with bumpers and all required components, ready for installation and operation in the appropriate dock environment.
