Vestil RR-68-35 is a pit-mounted mechanical dock leveler designed to streamline trailer loading and unloading at the dock edge. Its heavy-duty construction pairs a diamond plate steel deck with a sturdy understructure to provide reliable support during repetitive use. The leveler operates by a spring-driven pull-chain mechanism, allowing for smooth, low-effort operation without creating extensive maintenance overhead. The deck features a 1/4-inch checkered plate, and the leveler’s lip extends 16 inches to bridge the gap between dock and trailer floor, facilitating safe and efficient pallet handling and freight transfer.
The unit is engineered for a broad service range, capable of accommodating activity both above and below the dock surface by 12 inches. Telescoping side-mounted toe guards run the full service range to protect personnel and loading equipment as the leveler flexes with the trailer height. This model supports a uniform capacity of up to 35,000 pounds, making it suitable for a wide variety of palletized loads and equipment commonly encountered in warehouse and distribution environments. It is listed as compliant with CS 202-56, OSHA, and ANSI MH14.5 standards, reflecting adherence to recognized safety and performance expectations for dock equipment.
When selecting and using a pit-mounted mechanical leveler, verify dock pit dimensions and load profiles to ensure proper fit and performance. Maintenance should focus on chain operation integrity and the condition of the heel and lip when extending and retracting, as well as periodic inspection of toe guards and fasteners to maintain service range protection. This product is sold individually and ships as a single unit suitable for standard dock applications where a pit installation is feasible.
