Features and Benefits
This LMP Series mechanical dock leveler uses a pull‑chain system that lifts the deck and extends the lip with one motion. Once raised, the operator walks the deck down onto the trailer, making it easy to use in busy warehouse settings. It includes Lip Drive positive lip extension and an extended‑range float and hold‑down mechanism, which help the leveler move safely with trailer float, especially with air‑ride trailers.
Safety features include multi‑position safety legs, working‑range toe guards, and a lockout/tagout maintenance strut. These features support safer operation and help reduce risks during maintenance.
Applications
This clearance Poweramp LMP mechanical dock leveler is a great fit for operations that need a sturdy, high‑capacity dock solution without the cost of powered equipment.
Common Application Areas
