Dock Leveler facilitates trailer loading and unloading.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet News) — Tue, 13 May 2008 07:38:56 -0500

Designed to promote safety and productivity, Z-Deck(TM) Truck Leveler provides full-width access to virtually any load by raising trailer to appropriate dock height for loading/unloading. Trailers can be serviced at or above dock height due to Z-shaped deck design that helps minimize slope of lifting surface. This adds to safety by keeping tires even and reduces opportunity for trailers to move away from dock. Surface-mounted solution does not require below-grade pit.
