The Vestil RR-68-45 is a pit-mounted mechanical dock leveler designed to improve trailer loading and unloading at dock doors. Its heavy-duty design features a diamond plate deck and a supporting steel understructure to provide stable, long-term service while minimizing maintenance from routine use. The leveler is operated by a spring-assisted pull-chain, enabling smooth, controlled engagement and retraction to accommodate a range of trailer heights. A 16-inch lip extends over the dock edge to bridge the gap and help align loads during transfer.
Constructed to support substantial loads, this model is rated for a uniform capacity of 45,000 pounds, making it suitable for high-volume material handling operations. The unit includes telescoping side-mounted toe guards that span the entire service range to help protect workers and equipment as the leveler operates. Compliance notes indicate adherence to CS 202-56, OSHA, and ANSI MH14.5 standards, reflecting its alignment with recognized safety and performance guidelines. The product is configured for a 74-inch wide by 86-inch long by 24-inch deep footprint in the pit, with a deck thickness of 3/8 inch, contributing to its rigidity and load-bearing performance in typical dock environments.
This leveler is intended for environments where a fixed pit installation is feasible and where frequent trailer exchanges occur. When planning replacement or upgrade, confirm pit dimensions, the intended service range (12 inches above and below dock), and the available capacity to ensure the unit matches your loading dock configuration. Use and maintenance should follow standard mechanical leveler procedures to maintain smooth operation of the pull-chain mechanism and ensure the lip and deck remain properly aligned with the trailer sill.
