BENEFITS

The Top-Of-Dock is economical, allowing you
to improve loading dock efficiency at a fraction
of the cost of pit-mounted dock levelers. Initial
cost is low. Maintenance is reduced to simple,
periodic lubrication and adjustment.

The Top-Of-Dock is adaptable. A full 10" reach
above dock height is attainable.

The Top-Of-Dock is easy to install on virtually
any existing dock. No pit or other expensive
concrete work is required. It requires only 35"
back from dock edge.

The Top-Of-Dock is easy to operate for one man
using one hand - whether you choose mechanical
or hydraulic operation.

The Top-Of-Dock is stout. Face plate and lip are
high strength steel safety tread plate. Precision
bearings are used at load points. To safely
accommodate a wide range of trailer heights, full
18" high bumpers are standard equipment. These
bumpers are molded of first quality rubber and
secured to high strength 5/16" fully welded
bumper blocks.

HYDRAULIC OPERATION

Top-Of-Dock is offered in your choice of a mechanically
or hydraulically operated model. With either model, you
can choose between 20,000 or 25,000 lb. capacity.
No matter which Top-Of-Dock you choose, you'll enjoy
years of smooth, dependable service and easy operation.
For hydraulically operated models, the operator simply
presses and holds the control button until the leveler
reaches the fully extended position. The operator then
releases the control button and the leveler automatically
lowers to create a good working level with the truck bed.
To retract and restore the leveler, the operator again
pushes the control button until the leveler lip clears the
trailer. Then upon release of the control button, the
leveler will smoothly descend into stored position.
Each of the twin hydraulic cylinders features an
adjustable descent control, eliminating the need for a
mechanical lip latch. This is an exclusive feature and
eliminates lip latch breakage.

THE TOP-OF-DOCK LEVELER
Older docks are typically below the 50" industry
standard height. The trailers bought by major trucking companies match this industry standard. The Top-Of-
Dock has a 10" upward reach to provide a good
working level on low docks. That, plus the clear
superiority and rugged dependability of levelers, is
why Top-Of-Dock is the overwhelming choice of the
freight handling professionals, the major motor freight
companies, when they work at low docks. They use
the Top-Of-Dock more than all other brands and types
of surface-mounted levelers.
SIMPLE INSTALLATION
Top-Of-Dock simply mounts to the top and edge of loading dock. In fact, little or no change is required on an existing
dock. A pit is not needed. For very little expense, Top-Of-Dock allows you to create and effective working height on
older docks. To reduce loading and unloading grades, it has a generous 63" span. Deck width is 72".
