DESCRIPTION

Designed for fast-paced loading docks that demand safety, strength, and reliability, the Guardian 72" Hydraulic Edge of Dock Leveler delivers a smarter alternative to traditional dock boards. Built in the USA from heavy-duty structural steel, this hydraulic dock leveler permanently mounts to your dock edge, creating a seamless bridge between the dock and refrigerated trailers.

Engineered specifically for cold-storage and refrigerated trailer applications, this model features dual dock bumpers, a hydraulic power pack, and solid-state controls that allow smooth, quiet, one-person operation. With a 25,000 lb capacity, it easily supports forklifts, pallet jacks, and heavy material handling equipment throughout demanding shifts.

The automatic return-to-stored position activates immediately when the trailer pulls away, enhancing safety while reducing downtime. A 5" operating range above and below dock level, combined with a 12.75" lip projection, ensures reliable trailer engagement even with height variances. Built to meet or exceed OSHA and ANSI standards, this edge of dock leveler is a long-term solution for warehouses seeking efficiency, durability, and peace of mind.
