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.

Our Expertise

Turnkey Installation

From core-drilling and pit forming to electrical runs and hydraulic commissioning, our certified crews deliver code-compliant levelers ready for heavy cycles on day one.

Retrofits & Pit Repairs

Upgrade obsolete levelers with new curb angles, pour-in steel frames, or hydraulic conversion kits that extend life and meet modern trailer specs—without full concrete tear-out.

Safety Accessories

Automatic & manual truck restraints, barrier-lip levelers, wheel chocks, dock bumpers, LED dock lights, and red/green communication systems help prevent trailer creep and early departure.

24/7 Repair & PM

Broken torsion springs, leaking cylinders, or damaged bumpers slow docks. Our stocked trucks handle emergency repairs and quarterly maintenance with full inspection reports.

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.
