Designed with a working range of 5″ above or below dock height, Bluff’s Edge of Dock leveler (Model EP) accommodates most loading applications without a problem. The EP is positioned by lifting and pulling the handle to the dock floor, and then the latch assembly activates the lip, projecting it forward onto the bed of the trailer as the handle is lifted. When released, the handle automatically returns to its stored position. Welding to an existing steel channel or a Bluff approach plate is required. Available in capacities from 20,000 to 30,000 lbs and bumpers are included.
