Pit Mounted, Shallow Pit Mounted, Surface Mounted, and Low Profile
Our Truck Levelers put your trucks where the work is, leveling the truck bed to the exact dock height for loading and unloading applications. Our Surface Mounted Truck Levelers for above-ground installation are easy to set up and provide a quick and safe solution for leveling trucks to dock. The Surface Mounted Truck Levelers are easy to relocate should dock locations or requirements change.
All Pit Mounted models require a recessed pit installation and can travel above or below grade level to accommodate various trucks and dock configurations. A pit-mounted truck leveler gives you more range of travel to accommodate a wide variety of truck heights and dock configurations.
