Dock Leveler Systems

Dock Leveler Systems

Safe, streamlined docking for trailers & forklifts.

Power Safer, More Efficient Operations

Unstable dock plates, trailer drop, and forklift jolts can disrupt operations and increase equipment wear. Altech installs mechanical, hydraulic, air-powered pit levelers, and edge-of-dock (EOD) models engineered to optimize loading performance across every trailer height while protecting products and operators. Every system is precision specified for your facility and can include curb-angle replacements, pour-in frames, and heavy-duty lips designed for today's heavier pallet jacks. Add truck restraints and LED communication lights to strengthen safety, support OSHA compliance, and maximize uptime.

The Altech Method

From Plan to Performance

  • Step 01

    Site Survey & Traffic Study

    Measure pit depth, curb condition, trailer fleet heights, and forklift wheel loads to align leveler capacity and lip length.

  • Step 02

    Solution Proposal & Budget Options

    Choose mechanical, hydraulic, or air from multiple capacities plus optional restraints, lights, and bumpers—presented with phased rollout pricing.

  • Step 03

    Pit Prep & Welding

    Demolish old decks, repair curb steel, set pour-in frames, and weld hinge assemblies—all while diverting traffic to adjacent bays.

  • Step 04

    Hydraulic / Mechanical Commissioning

    Fill hydraulic reservoirs, bleed air systems, set spring tension, and test safety legs, barrier-lips, and restraint interlocks.

  • Step 05

    Operator Training & Turnover

    Dock staff learn daily inspection points, restraint sequencing, and lock-out/tag-out procedures. Digital manuals and inspection checklists are provided.

Advanced Leveler Solutions

  • Pit Leveler Types

    Mechanical, hydraulic, or air-bag powered in 30k-80k lb. capacities.

  • Edge-of-Dock (EOD)

    Bolt-on or weld-on models for docks without pits—ideal for retrofit budgets.

  • Truck Restraints

    Automatic or manual hook-style units integrate with leveler controls to prevent early departure.

  • Barrier-Lip & Safety Legs

    Helps stop forklifts from driving off open docks while supporting heavy static loads.

  • LED Dock Light & Comm Systems

    Red/green outside lights sync with leveler position; inside lights illuminate trailers for loading.

  • Bumpers & Weatherseals

    Molded rubber or laminated bumpers absorb trailer impact; brush or inflatable seals cut energy loss.
