The Vestil EH-78-30 Electric hydraulic dock leveler is designed for high-usage loading docks, offering a single-button operation to raise the deck and automatically extend the lip for convenient loading and unloading. When the raise button is released, the deck lowers to rest on the trailer, and on truck departure, the unit returns to a level cross-traffic position. The control box includes a red emergency stop for immediate shutdown if needed, supporting safer operation in busy dock environments. The system is equipped with telescoping steel toe guards on both sides, flush with the platform edge, and laminated bumpers to help protect the dock perimeter during operation.
Constructed from steel with a platform thickness of 1/4 inch, the leveler provides a substantial, steady surface capable of handling heavy loads. Its electrical requirements are 460 volts, 3-phase, and a 2-horsepower motor drives the hydraulic system that powers the deck raise and lip extension. The unit is intended for crew installation due to electrical connections, and it accommodates service ranges of 12 inches above and below the dock to match standard trailer heights and dock configurations. With a uniform 30,000 lb capacity, it is suitable for demanding material handling tasks in busy facilities.
Practical considerations include ensuring proper electrical service and on-site installation by qualified personnel, given the high-capacity, industrial-duty design. The laminated bumper dimensions (4.5 in. x 14 in. x 10 in.) provide impact protection where the dock meets trailers. This model is intended for environments that require reliable, automated deck positioning and lip extension to streamline loading and unloading cycles, while maintaining safety features such as the emergency stop and guard rails on both sides.
