Guardian Industrial Products Hydraulic Edge of Dock Leveler | Model HED782517 | 78" W | 25,000 lb Capacity | For Refrigerated Trailer Dock

DESCRIPTION

Built for demanding dock environments, the Guardian Hydraulic Edge of Dock Leveler delivers reliable, high-capacity performance for facilities that service refrigerated trailers daily. Designed to permanently mount to your loading dock, this 78-inch wide hydraulic dock leveler eliminates the inefficiency and safety risks of portable dock boards while ensuring faster, smoother truck transitions.

Constructed from 55,000 lb minimum yield steel tread plate, the deck and extended lip provide exceptional durability and secure trailer contact even with temperature-controlled trailers that require deeper lip engagement. A fully enclosed electric hydraulic power pack with a 4,000 PSI-capable pump delivers smooth, quiet operation, while the automatic return-to-stored position activates immediately when the trailer departs.

With a 5-inch operating range above and below dock level, this unit adapts easily to varying trailer heights. Formed steel bump blocks and molded rubber dock bumpers protect both the dock face and the leveler from impact damage. Engineered to meet or exceed OSHA and ANSI MH14.1 safety standards, this Guardian leveler is proudly manufactured in the USA for long-term reliability in high-volume warehouse and cold storage operations.
