Truck Leveler/Vehicle Restraint System
The ThinMan truck leveler lifts and positions trailer beds precisely to dock height for level loading and unloading, while the GWL enables safe access for fork trucks, holding the trailer securely to the dock during loading and unloading. According to the manufacturer, extra wide, tall and/or long loads can be removed without hitting the trailer's side walls and/or ceiling with loads.
The system is surface mounted, eliminating the need to build a below-grade pit, and features a 1.125-in. collapsed height, making the dock accessible for a variety of trucks and trailers. To ensure safety, GWL restraint is interlocked to the truck leveler, meaning that the restraint must be engaged and the trailer secure before the truck leveler can be raised.
In addition, the system is equipped with wheel guides on both sides to make trailer alignment fast and accurate and to help protect the dock platform and enhance dock seal performance. The hydraulic pump, manifold and oil reservoir are contained in an integral assembly for easy maintenance and all hoses are routed in the leveler platform.
