Mechanical Pit Leveler

Creates A Smooth Transition From Warehouse To Trailers
Mechanical Pit Leveler, Overhead Door of Southern California™
M68R & M78R
  • Fast, safe install with height adjusters operated while standing on building floor-no need for installer to be under leveler and no shimming/welding needed in rear of pit
  • Adjusters quickly position the dock level with the building floor
  • Improved safety — the installer is never under the leveler
  • Levelers ship with four steel fork loops bolted to the deck, which improves stability when lifting from a truck. The loops help with forklift placement into a pit from inside or outside the building, and helps to minimize levelers sliding while stacked on top of each other
  • Cut outs identify weld points to the curb angle for faster installation
  • Lifter arm is mounted to the rear of the frame instead of sitting on pit floor. No need to shim or weld under the lifter arm
Durable Design and Finish
  • The base frame is open all the way to the rear of the pit for easy access, with no cross beams or places to trap debris.
  • C-channel beams create a strong deck structure and allow moisture to dry
  • Deck design eliminates the transition angle, which is a frequent repair on many levelers
  • The deck hinge is fully supported across the entire width of the deck to enhance long-term durability
  • Durable textured powder coat finish
  • Compliant with ANSI MH30.1-2022
Smooth Building-To-Truck Transition
  • Designed with an optimized beveled lip to reduce bumps and damage to cargo and material handling equipment
  • Reduces shocks and jolts to workers by creating a level pathway
  • Facilitates fast movement of material handling equipment and forklifts
Easy-to-Use and Ergonomic
  • The release chain for deck operation is user-friendly and easy to pull
  • The holddown is easy to operate
  • The Leveler is well-balanced for quick, easy articulation and automatically maintains positive lip contact with trailer movements.
  • The snubber chain and maintenance brace are positioned at side edges, allowing easy access to the pit for maintenance and cleaning.
Safety Focus
  • Installers are never under the pit
  • Minimal bumps or gaps on the deck/lip reduce trip hazards for workers
  • Proprietary powder coat formulation on deck and lip surfaces is textured to provide enhanced traction and non-slip protection even when wet
