Why Use An Edge of Dock Leveler?

Bridging the gap at the dock edge can be challenging for certain facilities, from warehouses to distribution centers. Different, yet similar, to other loading dock levelers, the edge of dock leveler (EOD) is designed for facilities that service vehicles with very little variety in the trailer types or heights. Compared with traditional EOD leveler offerings, Rite-Hite's Edge-O-Dock leveler operation is more ergonomic, helping protect dock personnel and equipment. 

Edge of Dock Installation

Installing an edge dock leveler into your facility's loading dock area will allow material handling equipment and operators to move products and materials quickly while helping to keep employees safe. The edge of dock leveler installation creates a permanent fixture at the dock edge, allowing for a more secure transfer method than a traditional dockboard or dock plate.

Choose from either a hydraulic edge of dock leveler (with simple push-button operation) or a mechanical edge of dock leveler (with a unique linkage operation design), both economical solutions offer features that help keep personnel safe through the efficiency improved loading and unloading process.
