Poweramp Mechanical Dock Levelers
Poweramp Mechanical Dock Levelers are an economical solution to basic applications while still providing strength and durability. These levelers use a pull chain activation to raise the deck. The operator then simply walks the deck back down to the trailer bed or to a stored position. Poweramp mechanical levelers are equipped with a Lip Drive positive lip extension and an extended range, hold down mechanism for extreme float conditions.
Maximize Safety & Efficiency with Poweramp Mechanical Dock Levelers
Poweramp Poweramp Mechanical Dock Levelers
Mechanical Dock Levelers are an Economical & Reliable Solution For Basic Applications.
Operation begins when a dock attendant manually pulls the release chain, lifting the leveler from the stored position. Then A Cam Control Counter Balance Assembly raises the leveler, and a fully yieldable hinged lip is automatically extended at the top of the upward travel.
The attendant walks the platform down onto the trailer bed. If the trailer bed is below dock level, the attendant activates a second pull chain at the platform’s front during the walk down. The operating range is 12” above and 12” below dock level. The platform is designed to compensate for canted truck beds up to 4” and remain flush with the dock floor. An automatic release feature protects the device under extreme float conditions common when “air-ride” suspension trailers are serviced.
Safety Features:
- Dual pivoting cross-traffic legs for multi-position safety in the event of early departure.
- Working range toe guards close offsides in the service range position.
- Built-in lockout/Tagout maintenance inspection strut and lip support.
- Lip keepers for cross-traffic support and automatic night lock security against theft.

Design Features
Cleansweep Frame
The CleanSweep Frame makes cleaning the dock pit easy and efficient.
Four-Sided Box Construction
Stronger, more durable four-sided box construction
This leveler utilizes all structural steel support members providing the most reliable support and strongest bridge.
Extended Range, Float Barrel Hold Down
Designed to operate under extreme float conditions common with “air ride” suspension trailers. Provides fingertip release of the leveler, making storing the unit a snap.
Lip Drive Positive Lip Extension (TM
Reliably extends the leveler’s lip and restricts its descent until a walk down is performed.
Safety Features:
- Dual pivoting cross traffic legs for multi-position safety in the event of early departure.
- Working range toe guards close off sides in the service range position.
- Built-in lockout/tagout maintenance inspection strut and lip support.
- Lip keepers for cross traffic support and automatic night lock security against theft.
Vehicle Restraints & Accessories
For a safer loading dock, all Poweramp levelers can be equipped with a light communication system, iDock Controls, and vehicle restraints, which help prevent unexpected trailer departure from the loading dock. Safety barriers also prevent forklift trucks from driving over the dock edge.
