The Solidok® Safe-T-Level™ VS Series Vertical Storing Dock Leveler is the perfect loading dock solution when strict climate control or high cleanliness levels are required. By allowing overhead doors to close all the way to the pit floor, energy loss is minimized and dust, debris, and pests are kept out. Vertical levelers no only help preserve internal temperatures, they lower cooling costs and prevent product spoilage.
When not in use, the leveler is parked in the upright position, allowing the overhead door to close completely and prevent unauthorized access to the building.
Available in rated capacities of 30,000 to 45,000 lbs (13,636 to 20,455 kgs)
Structural Integrity
A minimum of six heavy-duty U-beam channels are welded to the underside of the deck at dynamic impact points, preventing “dishing” and extending the life of the dock leveler by up to 50% compared to competitor models.
- Innovative deck hinge design enables a level and smooth transition for cross-docking traffic
- Deck will flex up to 4″ (102mm) when under load, to ensure full-width contact between the lip and the truck bed
- State-of-the-art sensor technology allows the lip to maintain constant contact with the truck bed
- Unique protective cushioning safeguards the deck cylinder while the deck is being parked
- Integral safety stand keeps the deck securely upright during servicing
- Built-in stand with lockout pin prevents leveler use during cleaning or maintenance
