The Vestil RR-78-45 is a pit-mounted mechanical dock leveler designed to facilitate trailer loading and unloading at industrial loading docks. Its heavy-duty construction centers on a steel channel understructure and a steel checkered plate deck, providing a robust platform for frequent dock activity. The leveler uses a spring-operated mechanical pull-chain for operation, enabling smooth opening and closing without electrical power, and features a 16-inch lip to bridge the gap between dock and trailer. A notable design element is the telescoping side-mounted toe guards, which cover the opening through the entire service range to help protect toes and equipment during operation. The unit supports uniform capacities up to 45,000 pounds, with a documented service range spanning 12 inches above and below the dock, offering flexibility for varying trailer heights.
The product is described as a 86 inches wide by 86 inches long by 24 inches deep assembly suitable for locations requiring a durable, mechanical loading solution rather than powered solutions. It includes two laminated bumpers to facilitate impact absorption during docking events. While the description notes compliance references to CS 202-56, OSHA, and ANSI MH14.5, no specific certification or regional origin details are provided in the data. The 3/8-inch steel checkered plate deck is consistent with applications demanding a rugged, non-slip surface under heavy use. Potential buyers should verify precise fit to their pit dimensions and confirm the availability of compatible mounting configurations and maintenance practices per site requirements.
Overall, this model suits facilities needing a heavy-capacity, mechanically actuated dock leveler that operates via pull-chain within a defined service range, with protective toe guards and a built-in bumper system for robust, cost-effective dock access control.
