What Is a Mechanical Loading Dock Leveler?

A mechanical loading dock leveler is a reliable and economical solution that is used to bridge the gap between the dock height and the trailer bed. This mechanical dock leveler is equipped with a cam and roller counterbalance mechanism, which allows for easy and safe operation by the operator. A pull chain activation system is included, which allows for the leveler to be raised and lowered with minimal effort.

The mechanical dock leveler is designed to withstand extreme float conditions and has an extended range of capacities to accommodate a wide range of applications. The dock plates are made from durable materials which ensure long-term performance and reliability.

The ramp is equipped with a hinge, which allows for the leveler to be stored in a safe and secure position when not in use. The mechanism is designed for manual activation using mechanical operation, ensuring that the leveler can be operated even in the event of a power outage.

Overall, the mechanical dock leveler is a safe and reliable solution for managing loading and unloading operations. It is designed for basic applications and provides a cost-effective solution for businesses of all sizes.

The company is great. Very honest pricing and 100% satisfied. Great friendly and knowledgeable employee Mark was there to explain to me what needed to be done and after the job was done, he showed me all the old parts he replaced and fixed. If a customer wants a great company for their garage door problems don't hesitate to hire PRIMOS GARAGE DOORS you will be very happy with them. Thanks so very much Toby, Mark is a great employee.

Extremely personable and an absolute pleasure to work with. Always responsive and quick. Made sure we got the quality project we needed for our tough mountain environment. Installation was on time and very professionally done. I have to say this about Toby – if all contractors could come up to his very high standard of excellence, this would be a better world to live in. Thank you Toby for a job extremely well done. We could not be happier.

“Great company! Came the same day and gave us an estimate. Did everything they promised at a great price and in our time frame!”

Was impressed by their willingness to come out the same day to diagnose my garage door problem. Price was fair so I hired them and they said that they could come out next day between 6 and 8 pm. Said they were running late and couldn't come out until 9:30pm. Not happening. They upgraded the garage door parts for my trouble and we finally got it completed the next day.

I had a garage door put in an old 1930’s era garage. He had to rebuild the frame, haul off old material and install the new door. Did a wonderful job and finished it in one day. He even made it better than we thought by removing a center pole that we thought had to stay and putting a better top beam in. Very pleased and would recommend Primos to anyone.

Operating mechanical dock levelers requires knowledgeable upkeep and maintenance. If any issues arise during use, be sure to consult the instruction manual’s troubleshooting section for quick diagnosis – essential advice to keep your mechanical dock running smoothly!

Mechanical dock levelers are prone to common issues, including:

The platform of the dock levelers is not lifting.
The dock leveler platform is either slowly rising or not fully raised.
The lip of the dock leveler platform does not fully extend even though the platform itself rises to its full height.
