The Vestil Edge-O-Dock Leveler is a heavy-duty loading dock accessory designed to bridge the gap between your dock and trailer bed, supporting up to 15,000 lb. capacity. This model is permanently attached to the face of the dock and is suitable for installations where a concrete recess is not required, simplifying retrofits on compatible dock faces. It features a tread plate surface to provide a positive, non-slip gripping action for safe footing during loading and unloading operations. The unit is supplied with the necessary bumpers and mounting hardware to integrate with standard dock configurations and is available in a configuration with 29-inch ramp length for typical grade differences, with options for longer ramping as needed by different installations.
Construction emphasizes solid steel components and a robust edge-to-face mounting arrangement. The Edge-O-Dock operates through either mechanical, manual hydraulic, or electric hydraulic actuation, depending on the specific setup chosen. The mechanical variant uses a pocket and lip actuation for trailer engagement, while the hydraulic configurations use a pump and control system to lift the deck and extend the lip, enabling a trailer-ready interface when backed into position. For operation, ensure the dock face has a suitable steel edge and that the mounting plate is securely bolted to the dock face, following the installation guidance provided. The unit is designed to extend and retract with the trailer’s movement, returning to stored position once the trailer pulls away.
Practical considerations include verifying dock height and the absence of a requirement for a concrete recess, as well as confirming that the dock edge and approach ramp meet the installation needs. The product ships as a complete assembly with the required bumpers and hardware, and is specified to support installations up to 5 inches of service range above dock. Use on compatible loading docks with standard face mounting and appropriate electrical or mechanical actuation, depending on chosen configuration.
