INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions carefully before unpacking and installing your Edge-O-Dock leveler. Follow these

instructions carefully.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN.

The procedure for installing an Edge-O-Dock dock leveler depends on the dock

height and the construction of the dock edge. This manual assumes an optimum dock height of 50”.

The preferred dock edge construction is a well-anchored six-inch steel channel, ¼” thick, embedded and

anchored in the dock edge. This feature allows the dock leveler to be welded into position. This also allows you

to install an approach ramp to increase the dock leveler’s height.

With a shorter steel dock edge, concrete anchors will be required in addition to welding.

If no steel edge is present, a steel approach plate must be anchored to the floor to provide a welding surface.

DO NOT use a dock leveler that has not been welded to the dock. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE PROPER

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE WILL DECREASE THE CAPACITY OF DOCK LEVELER.

Table of Contents 12/2/20 FM MANUAL.DOCX

RECOMMENDED DOCK EDGE FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION.

The recommended dock edge for new

construction is a well-anchored 6-inch channel with a minimum thickness of ¼ inch (C6x8.2). Anchors must be

made from 1 ½” lengths of 6-inch channel, welded inside the channel at a 12-inch pitch.

The CE curb edge option is available through your Vestil distributor.

TOOLS AND SUPPLIES NEEDED.

The following tools and supplies will be needed for the installation. These

are not supplied with the product.

•Tape measure

•Forklift with a lift boom

•Air or electric grinder

•Arc welder

•1-1/2” open-end wrench or pipe wrench

•¾” open-end wrench, box wrench, or socket wrench (19 mm will also work)

•Rotary hammer drill *

•3/4” × 5” concrete anchors (up to 14 needed, depending on dock construction) *

•Approach ramp (for docks under 50” tall) *

•Approach plate (for docks not having a steel edge) *

* item depends on condition of dock edge
