Increase Loading Dock Performance with a six movement leveler.

This unique electric hydraulic loading SF and SS Series - 6 Movement Dock Leveler is unmatched in the loading dock leveler industry. The six movement design includes up and down for deck movement, in and out slide deck/ lip movement, left and right positioning for entire dock leveler movement. The SF series is engineered with a finger deck and fixed lip longitudinal design. The fingers have the unique ability to provide greater deck twist than any solid deck on the market for uneven truck beds.

The SS Series is engineered with a sliding sold deck and fixed lip design. The continuous slide deck surface on both units makes the unit inherently safer than a hinged lip leveler.
