Easy clean leveler frame permits effortless clean out of pit floor.





Operation


The platform is raised when the raise push button on the control panel is depressed and held allowing the electric blower to fill the air bladder and provide upward lift. When the fully yieldable lip extends at the top of the cycle the button is released allowing the extended lip and platform to lower onto the trailer bed at either above or below dock position. Upon trailer departure the lip can be retracted and the unit restored to a safe cross traffic position. In-use and stored positions are achieved without manual operation. Operable range is 12" above and 12" below dock level. Standard lip is 16". The platform is designed to service out of level trailers with up to 4" of flex and remains flush with dock floor. Platform is allowed to automatically float up and down with trailer movement.
