Vestil Edge-O-Dock Leveler, model VESPE-2572-36, is a heavy-duty dock leveler designed to bridge the gap between a loading dock and a trailer, enabling efficient and safer palletized product transfer. The unit is configured for permanent attachment to the face of the dock and supports a uniform capacity of 25,000 lb. The design accommodates a service range above the dock of 5 inches, making it suitable for standard dock elevations and varying trailer heights. The Edge-O-Dock operates in multiple ways: mechanical, manual hydraulic, and electric hydraulic options are described in the manufacturer notes, with different actuation methods and power requirements to fit diverse facility needs. The system is supplied with essential components, including bumpers, a mounting plate, hydraulic lines, and the corresponding actuation mechanisms, depending on the chosen operation method. The lip and ramp geometry are engineered to ensure reliable contact with the truck bed, while the lip retracts automatically behind the bumper face as the trailer departs, reducing dock downtime and improving efficiency.
Key construction features include a tread-plate style surface to provide a non-slip walking and loading surface, and solid steel construction intended for durable, long-term service in harsh loading dock environments. Notably, the product does not require a concrete recess for installation, which can simplify retrofits or installations where a recess is impractical. For proper installation and performance, a steel dock edge, approach ramp, or approach plate is recommended on the dock face, and a continuous weld across the top and down both sides of the mounting plate is required, with the mounting plate bolted to the dock face via the provided anchor holes.
This Vestil Edge-O-Dock leveler is offered with standard electrical and hydraulic configurations, including 115V, 1-phase power for the electric hydraulic variant, and complete assemblies with motor, pump, control box, cylinder, lines, and oil. Packaging is listed as per-unit (Each). When selecting a model, confirm the actuation method (manual mechanical, manual hydraulic, or electric hydraulic) to ensure compatibility with your dock control systems and maintenance capabilities.
