Loading Dock Levelers from Amazon.com

Efficiently shipping and receiving inventory depends on quickly and safely moving freight on and off trucks. Fork lifts, pallet jacks, and powered loaders need level surfaces to function properly with heavy loads, so it’s important to use a loading dock leveler to ensure an even transition from the height of the loading dock, to the height of the freight trailer. Hydraulic, pneumatic, or mechanical loading dock levelers accommodate trucks with different deck heights, so warehouse workers can quickly and safely load and unload freight.

Managing warehouse inventory and moving cargo quickly depends on quickly servicing trailers with a wide variety of deck heights. Loading dock levelers can create a safe, sturdy loading ramp above or below the height of the loading dock, so heavy loading equipment and warehouse personnel can move freely from one area to another.

Mechanical loading dock levelers have a moderate weight limit for smaller loading docks. They are operated manually, and have very few moving parts compared to other configurations. Pneumatic levelers use air pressure to assist in lifting and lowering the dock, so much heavier and larger platforms can be used. Many pneumatic levelers will function normally in the event of a power outage, if there is still pressure in the compressor. Hydraulic levelers work on a similar principle as pneumatic models, an often offer very high load capacities for large docks.

At Amazon.com, you’ll find a variety of loading dock levelers to accommodate small and large loading docks and warehouses alike. Compact models are put into place and removed as needed, so there’s no need to permanently modify the loading area. Larger units that will be used more often are installed securely in place, and fitted with the appropriate loading dock bumpers and power supply lines. For large loading docks, we offer wide levelers that can accommodate extra-large loads.
