Air Powered Dock Levelers
Overview
Air powered dock levelers are a smart middle ground between mechanical and hydraulic systems. They give you push-button activation at a competitive price — without the complexity of a full hydraulic system. These levelers use compressed air already available in your loading dock and are operated by push-button activation. The air bag, or bellows system, raises the deck for loading. When the button or lanyard is released, the platform floats down to the bed of the truck.
Features and Benefits
Air powered dock levelers are an economical alternative to hydraulic levelers. They still give dock operators push-button controls, a safer lifting system, and reliable performance.
- Push-button activation makes operation simple and consistent. There is no manual lifting or pull-chain required.
- Compressed air lifting means fewer moving parts than hydraulic systems. That reduces maintenance and lowers the total cost of ownership over time.
- Push-button activation is easy to use and diminishes the chances of a free fall or other injuries.
- Full-range toe guards are standard on both models, keeping workers safe throughout the full range of platform motion.
- Sizes from 25,000 to 50,000 CIR are available across both series, covering most industrial and commercial loading dock applications.
- Designed and manufactured in the USA — every air powered leveler is built to meet OSHA requirements and ANSI MH 30.1 compliance.
