OPERATION
Before operating the dockleveler, read and
follow Safety Practices on pages 5 & 6.
Use by untrained people could result in serious
injury or death. Read and follow complete
Operation instructions. DO NOT USE THE
DOCKLEVELER IF IT LOOKS BROKEN OR DOES
NOT SEEM TO WORK RIGHT. Tell your
supervisor it needs repair.
Always be certain that the truck wheels are
chocked, or that the truck is locked in place by a
truck restraining device and the brakes are set,
before loading or unloading. Trucks pulling
away from the dock unexpectedly could result in
death or serious injury.
Keep both hands firmly on the hand lever while
raising or lowering the dockleveler. Keep other
body parts clear of hand lever travel path while
raising or lowering the dockleveler. Do not use
legs or feet to move or hold hand lever. Failure
to follow these and other provided warnings
could result in death or serious injury.
Do not operate dockleveler if operation causes
undue physical strain or if physical impairments
could lead to undue strain in back, muscles,
limbs, or joints.
To avoid damage to load and dockleveler do not
activate unit if loads will be in way of extended
lip. If the lip touches loads before resting on
carrier floor, linkage must be disengaged. Use
hand lever to hold 12” ramp plate in the full back
position and with a pipe or similar device,
disengage lip extender link from the extender
bushing. Once disengaged, return unit to rest or
pendant position.

Dock Dockleveler is designed to span
and compensate for space and height differences
between a loading dock and freight carrier to allow
safe, efficient freight transfers.
The Mechanical Edge

of
-
Dock Dockleveler is spring
counterbalanced. A hand lever is used to position
the ramp and lip onto the truck bed and to return the
dockleveler to the stored position.
Moving the hand lever back moves the ramp to the
full raised position, engaging the lip extension link.
Moving the lever forward extends the dockleveler lip
onto the truck.
After loading, moving the hand lever moves the lip
off the truck. The hand lever is then moved back to
place the dockleveler back into stored position.

Tell truck driver “ Your truck must stay at the
