Guardian Industrial Products Hydraulic Edge of Dock Leveler | Model HED782017 | 78" W | 20,000 lb Capacity | For Refrigerated Trailer Dock

DESCRIPTION

Designed for high-volume loading docks that service refrigerated trailers, the Guardian Industrial Products 78" Hydraulic Edge of Dock Leveler delivers unmatched strength, safety, and efficiency in a compact, permanently mounted solution. Built in the USA from heavy-duty steel, this dock leveler bridges the critical gap between dock and trailer with smooth, dependable hydraulic operation eliminating the lifting, positioning, and storage challenges of traditional dock boards.

Engineered with 55,000 lb minimum yield steel tread plate, the deck and lip withstand constant forklift traffic while maintaining traction in demanding environments. A fully enclosed hydraulic power pack with a 4,000 PSI-rated pump ensures fast deployment, quiet operation, and automatic return to stored position when the trailer departs. The 5-inch operating range above and below dock level provides flexibility for varying trailer heights, while the 12.75-inch lip projection guarantees secure contact.

With integrated bumpers, OSHA and ANSI compliance, and one-man rotary switch activation, this hydraulic edge dock leveler enhances dock safety, workflow speed, and operator confidence making it the ideal solution for cold storage facilities, food distribution centers, and refrigerated logistics operations.

Key Features

• Heavy-duty steel construction delivers long-term durability for high-cycle dock operations, resisting bending, fatigue, and impact from constant forklift and pallet jack traffic.
• 20,000 lb load capacity supports fully loaded forklifts and palletized freight, making it ideal for demanding warehouse, cold storage, and refrigerated trailer applications.
• Hydraulic-powered operation ensures smooth, controlled deck and lip movement with minimal noise, reducing operator strain while improving loading dock efficiency.
• Designed for refrigerated trailers with an optimized lip projection and working range that accommodates common reefer trailer heights and dock configurations.
• 55,000 lb yield tread plate provides superior traction and strength, minimizing slip risks while maintaining structural integrity under heavy, repetitive loading.
• Automatic return feature safely lowers the leveler to its stored position immediately after trailer departure, preventing dock edge hazards and equipment damage.
• 5-inch vertical operating range above and below dock level allows seamless servicing of varied trailer heights without manual adjustment or repositioning.
• 12.75-inch lip projection ensures secure trailer engagement, reducing bounce, gaps, and unsafe transitions during forklift entry and exit.
• Totally enclosed power pack protects hydraulic components from dust, moisture, and debris, extending service life in industrial dock environments.
• 4,000 PSI hydraulic pump delivers reliable lifting force and consistent performance even in continuous-use, high-demand loading dock operations.
• Integrated steel dock bumpers absorb trailer impact, protecting the dock face, leveler structure, and building foundation from collision damage.
• Greaseable continuous hinge simplifies maintenance while promoting smooth articulation and long-term reliability of the deck and lip connection.
• Formed steel gusset supports add structural reinforcement in the stored position, reducing flex and increasing overall dock leveler stability.
• One-man rotary activation switch allows fast, simple operation, improving dock productivity while reducing labor requirements and training time.
• OSHA and ANSI compliant design meets or exceeds CS202-56 and MH14.1 standards, ensuring safety, regulatory compliance, and workplace confidence.
