SPECIFICATIONS

RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION SITE CHARACTERISTICS

The optimal installation site is a loading dock where the

floor is 50 inches above the ground. If the dock is lower

than 50 inches, ramps and ramp support angles are

necessary. The dock face should include 6 inch, integral

steel channel along the top edge of the loading dock floor.

This feature allows the dock leveler and dock bumpers to

be welded directly to the steel channel. Concrete anchors

must be at least 11/2inches wide by 6 inches long with a

11/2inch perpendicular segment at both ends. Anchors

must be made from at least 1/4” steel and should be welded

to the channel in 12 inch increments. Optimal

(recommended) dock edge construction is shown in the

diagrams.

Installation requirements for loading docks without 6in. steel edge:

If your loading dock lacks 6 inch steel edging, then either: 1) the edging is less than 6 inches wide; or 2) there is

no steel edge.

1) If the installation site includes integral steel channel along the dock edge, but the channel is less than 6 inches

wide, the dock leveler must be both welded and fastened to the dock face with anchor bolts. This installation is

described in Method 2 on pages 9-10.

2) A steel approach plate must first be anchored to the floor if the dock has no steel edging. The dock leveler is

then welded to the front edge of the approach plate. This installation is described in Method 3 on pages 11-12.

Approach ramp installation for loading docks lower than 50

inches (dock floor less than 48 inches above pavement):

If the dock floor is less than 50 inches above the pavement,

then a ramp might be necessary. The dock leveler is installed to be

50 inches above the pavement and a ramp provides a smooth

transition from the dock floor to the top of the leveler. The diagrams

provide an example of a dock floor 48 inches above the pavement.

INSTALLATION

Improperly installing the dock leveler decreases its

capacity and might make it unsafe to use. If the dock face does not

include integral steel channel, then an approach plate must be

installed.

Three methods of installing the dock leveler are provided in this

manual. The methods are presented in order of preference, i.e. the

unit should be installed according to Method 1, which requires an

integral steel edge at least 6 inches wide. If the loading dock has a

steel edge that is less than 6 inches wide, then use Method 2. If

the dock does not have a steel edge at all, then use Method 3. For

all 3 methods, begin the installation with steps A-D by cleaning and

preparing the site and moving the dock leveler into position.

A. Clean the installation site and the steel edge. The edge must be

free of protrusions. Remove burrs, etc. from the edge surface.

The floor surface and front face of the dock should be smooth.

B. Measure the width of the dock door (double-ended arrow). Find

and mark the center of the door opening (dashed line).

C. Move the leveler to the installation site, e.g. with a forklift boom.

In the diagram, a forklift boom is shown attached to the bridge

plate.

D. Center the dock leveler on the center of the dock doorway.

Proceed to the instructions for:

i. Method 1 if the dock has a 6in. (or wider) steel edge; OR

ii. Method 2 if the dock has steel edge less than 6in. wide; OR

iii. Method 3 if the dock does not have a steel edge.

METHOD 1:Loading dock with at least 6in. wide steel edge

E. The top of the dock leveler mounting plate should be flush with the top of

the steel edge. Tack weld the mounting plate to the edge at both ends.

F. Continuously weld the top edge of the mounting plate to the steel edge.

G. Install dock bumpers on both sides of the leveler.

i. Align the top of each bumper with the top of the steel edge/dock floor.

ii. Tack weld the bumpers to the steel edge.

iii. Continuously weld the top and both sides of both bumpers to the

steel edge.

METHOD 2:Loading dock with steel edge less than 6in. wide

E. The top of the dock leveler mounting plate should be flush with the top of

the steel edge. Tack weld the mounting plate to the edge at both ends.

F. Continuously weld the mounting plate to the steel edge.

G. Install four (4) 3/4” x 5” lag bolts to fasten the (dock leveler) mounting

plate to the dock face.

H. Install dock bumpers on both sides of the leveler.

i. Align the top of each bumper with the dock floor.

ii. Tack weld the bumpers to the steel edge.

iii. Continuously weld the top of both bumpers.

iv. Continuously weld the sides of each bumper.
