NORDOCK Mechanical Leveler

HEAVY-METAL™ Series

A new benchmark for strength, dependability and ease of operation

The NORDOCK HEAVY-METAL™ Series Mechanical Dock Leveler is designed to provide unbeatable service in facilities where strength and reliability is a major criteria. The HEAVY-METAL™ leveler is equipped with more standard performance features than any other comparable product. Standard features include NORDOCKs exclusive auto-sensing holdown and a full yieldable walk-down lip extension for the smoothest and easiest operating mechanical leveler.

The name says it all

The platform is a unitized welded structure with continuous welds at the beam, header plate and hinge tubes for maximum strength. The deck plate, lip plate, beam sections and lugs are constructed of minimum 50-55,000 PSI yield material. Welded side guards provide additional deck plate support. The fixed rear hinge provides 4" of side-to-side tilt with no pinch point.

Standard features include working range toe guards, retracting solid steel deck stops, night security locks, end loading control and integral maintenance strut.

Soft release activation

The operator releases the holdown at the rear of the platform until the deck is raised and stopped. The operator walks the platform down extending the lip onto the truck bed. The deck will float up and down with the truck during loading. The standard 16" long lip will extend out and engage a truck bed 12" above and below floor level.
