The Vestil RR-78-35 is a pit-mounted mechanical dock leveler designed to facilitate trailer loading and unloading at commercial loading docks. It features a heavy-duty diamond plate deck and a steel understructure, delivering a robust platform within a compact, pit-integrated footprint. The unit operates with a spring-assisted mechanical pull-chain mechanism, enabling smooth, controlled deployment and retraction with minimal maintenance. Its lip extends 16 inches, providing a gradual transition from dock to trailer bed, while the service range extends 12 inches above and below the dock surface to accommodate varying trailer heights.
Constructed for reliability in demanding dock environments, this leveler is equipped with telescoping side-mounted toe guards that cover the opening throughout the entire service range, helping to reduce pinch points and improve safety during operation. The assembly is designed to support significant loads, with a uniform 35,000-pound capacity noted for this model, and it includes two laminated bumpers to cushion impact between dock and trailer. The unit adheres to applicable standards and is compatible with typical dock configurations in warehouses and distribution centers. When planning installation, verify pit dimensions and alignment with the specified 86"W x 86"L x 24"D footprint and 35000 lb capacity to ensure proper fit and performance.
This dock leveler is suitable for facilities seeking a durable, mechanically operated solution that minimizes maintenance while providing reliable service across frequent loading and unloading cycles. Consider site-specific factors such as dock height, trailer variability, and required service range to determine if upgrading to this capacity, pit-mounted model aligns with operational demands and safety requirements.
