Pit Levelers, Loading Dock Levelers, and Dock Levelers

The right loading dock leveler can improve safety, speed up freight handling, and reduce strain on employees. Since trucks and trailers often arrive at different heights, a properly selected pit leveler helps create a smoother transition between the dock floor and the trailer bed.

Action Industrial Services offers multiple dock leveler options for different loading needs, including mechanical, hydraulic, and air bag systems. As a result, your facility can choose a leveler based on load weight, frequency of use, budget, and preferred operation style.

Mechanical Pit Levelers

Mechanical pit levelers can be a practical option for facilities with lighter loads or less frequent loading activity. These levelers typically use a pull chain to activate the platform and lift the lip projection, helping create a secure connection between the dock and the truck or trailer.

Hydraulic Dock Levelers

Hydraulic dock levelers work well for facilities with frequent loading and unloading activity. Instead of requiring manual pull-chain operation, hydraulic systems use powered operation to raise the platform and position the lip. Therefore, they can improve efficiency, reduce employee strain, and support heavier daily use.

Air Bag Loading Dock Levelers

Air bag loading dock levelers offer another efficient option for busy dock environments. These systems use air bag technology to lift the platform, which reduces manual labor and avoids the risk of hydraulic fluid contamination. In addition, the broad air bag surface helps provide a versatile lifting solution for a range of loads.
