The Vestil Edge-O-Dock Leveler is a durable dock-mounting solution designed to bridge gaps between trucks and the loading dock for efficient material handling. This unit attaches permanently to the face of the dock and supports a 25,000 lb capacity, aiding multiple loads per shift with a consistent, level deck as trailers back into place. It is configured to work without a concrete recess, simplifying installation where a recessed pit isn’t feasible, and it ships with the necessary bumpers and mounting hardware to get a standard setup up and running.
Construction and operation details distinguish this model: it features a tread plate surface for improved traction and durability. The mechanical edge and lip operate via a manual hydraulic hand pump or an electric hydraulic setup, depending on the chosen configuration, providing controlled lip extension and deck height adjustment. When the trailer departs, the lip retracts automatically behind the bumper face, contributing to a smooth, hands-free cycle. The system is designed for typical dock heights and offers multiple ramping options to accommodate varying grade conditions. A continuous weld across the top and down both sides of the mounting plate, plus bolting through anchor holes, are required for proper installation to a steel dock edge, with a steel approach ramp or plate recommended on the dock face.
This unit is suitable for facilities seeking a high-capacity, edge-mounted dock solution that does not require a recessed pit. Practical considerations include the need for an appropriate power option (manual hydraulic, electric hydraulic, or other configured setup), ensuring the dock face accommodates the mounting plate, and confirming that the trailer pulls away before the leveler returns to stored position. The package includes the essential components—hand pump, cylinders, lines, and oil—along with the necessary installation hardware for mounting to the dock face.
