Pitless Hydraulic Dock Leveler: Rapid Installation, Immediate Efficiency

Although installing hydraulic dock levelers is now easy, not every facility has the conditions to construct a traditional dock pit. The pitless hydraulic dock leveler was born as an optimal solution, offering outstanding flexibility and efficiency. Let’s find out about pitless dock levelers in the article below.

What is a pitless hydraulic dock leveler?

A pitless dock leveler is a special type of dock leveler that does not require the construction of a concrete foundation pit. Instead, the dock leveler is equipped with a sturdy and independent steel frame to support the system.

Basically, this type of dock leveler still operates based on the principle of hydraulic lifting. This dock leveler is suitable for old warehouses that need upgrading or functional conversion when transporting goods between transport vehicles and the warehouse floor.
