The Vestil Edge-O-Dock Leveler is a heavy-duty dock leveler designed to attach directly to the face of a loading dock, enabling a smooth transition between the dock and trailer bed without requiring a concrete recess. With a uniform 30,000 lb. capacity, this unit supports high-volume material handling operations and is appropriate for facilities where trailers back up to the dock and the lip must extend to meet the truck bed. The model identified by SKU VESPE-3072 features a 17-1/2 inch by 99 inch by 27-1/2 inch footprint and includes the essential hardware and ramping configuration for reliable deployment and retraction as trailers depart. It is available in a brown finish and is designed for installations that use a steel dock edge, approach ramp, or approach plate, along with a continuous weld across the mounting plate for proper securing to the dock face.
Construction with solid steel and a tread plate surface provides a non-slip gripping action, helping to reduce slip hazards during load transfer. The Edge-O-Dock offers multiple actuation options: a mechanical edge-to-deck operation controlled by a handle that moves the lip onto the trailer bed and automatically retracts as the trailer leaves; a manual hydraulic hand pump system for lifting the deck and extending the lip; and an electric hydraulic option that raises the leveler with the push of a control button. The electric and mechanical systems are designed to cycle with the trailer, requiring the truck to pull out before the leveler returns to storage. The product is supplied with the appropriate cylinder, hydraulic lines, oil, and mounting hardware, ensuring a complete installation when mounted per the specified guidelines.
Operational practicality should be considered for dock configurators: the leveler is recommended for docks at least 48 inches high, and the standard ramping length is 29 inches (29-13/16 inches for the 30,000 lb. capacity version). A 36-5/8 inch long ramping option is available for smaller grade differences within PP and PE series levelers. For safe and reliable use, ensure the mounting plate is bolted to the dock face through the provided anchor holes and that a steel dock edge, solid approach ramp, or approach plate is in place. This unit is sized and packaged as an individual (per each) installation, with a 30,000 lb. capacity rating that informs lifting and handling expectations in busy loading environments.
