Frequently Asked Questions
What are the differences between hydraulic, mechanical, and air-powered dock levelers?
Hydraulic levelers use fluid pressure for smooth, powered operation and are ideal for high-volume use. Mechanical levelers rely on springs and manual operation, offering simplicity for lower-volume facilities. Air-powered levelers combine the smooth operation of hydraulics with reduced maintenance, no hydraulic fluid, and environmental benefits—perfect for facilities prioritizing sustainability and reliability.
What are the advantages of air-powered dock levelers?
Air-powered levelers eliminate hydraulic fluid, reducing environmental concerns and maintenance. They provide smooth, reliable operation with fewer moving parts, lower operating costs, and consistent performance in extreme temperatures. They're ideal for food processing, cold storage, and environmentally-conscious facilities.
How do I know if my dock leveler needs repair?
Signs include slow operation, unusual noises, leaking fluid (hydraulic models), air leaks (air-powered models), or difficulty raising/lowering. Contact us for a free inspection.
Are dock levelers required by law?
While not always required by law, dock levelers are strongly recommended by OSHA to prevent injuries and ensure safe loading operations.
