A flush mount weld on application is used when an 8”
wide (minimum) embed channel is securely anchored
into the concrete at the dock edge, and the dock
height is adequate.
1. Remove all existing bumper material and
protruding objects from dock edge. Clean and
sweep dock edge free of debris and flammable
chemicals before installing unit.
2. At chosen location for Edge-of-Dock leveler,
locate the center of space and mark a point half
of the base plate width to the left and right.
3. Using a proper lifting device, raise and position
leveler on dock face with the top of the base
plate being 1/4” below the top of the embedded
channel. Position ends of base plate to match
up with marks made previously.
4. Tack weld base plate to dock steel on left hand
end of the leveler. Check right hand end of base
plate, ensure that end is against dock steel and
that the top of the base plate is still 1/4” below
the top of the embedded channel. Tack right
hand end to dock steel.
5. Position bump blocks out approximately 5/8”
from the edge of the inside flange of the bump
block to the end of the base plate. This will allow
for vertical welding of both the base plate and
the bump block flange back to the dock steel.
Top of the bump block cover plate should be
flush with the top of the embed channel. Tack
weld bump blocks to dock steel.
6. Check the positioning of the base plate and the
bump blocks.
7. Complete bumper install:
a. Apply continuous weld across top of each
bumper. Skip welding is acceptable to
prevent warpage, but complete weld must be
completed.
a. Plug weld mounting holes to imbed or drill
holes 5/8” dia. by 5” deep in concrete. Install
5/8 x 4-3/4 anchor bolts with washers.
8. Finish welding the base plate:
a. Weld the top of end base plate and first
hinge to imbed.
b. Weld top of each hinge tube to imbed.
c. Weld vertically along each end of base plate.
d. Plug weld all holes in base plate.
9. Installer must remove all welding slag, and
repaint welded areas.
10. Installer must adjust springs on all mechanical
Edge of Dock levelers to provide desired tension
for smooth operation. See page 30.
