SURFACE MOUNTED LEVELER (see Figure 8)
Platform
1. The Surface Mounted Truck Leveler must be located on a sound concrete surface
with 3,000 pounds compressive strength concrete. Asphalt and/or crumbling,
powdery, or cracked concrete are not acceptable surfaces
2. Place the platform in front of the dock. Center the platform as required and set the
clearance at the face of the dock according to existing or anticipated projections of
attachments to the dock face and axle offsets and axle spacing of the trucks to be
serviced. The platform must clear all dock bumpers and attachments when it is
being raised or lowered. The platform is to be positioned a minimum of 9” in front of
dock face to clear most truck restraint devices. As the platform raises from level to
30” maximum travel,, the arc will increase dock-to -platform clearance to 3” when at
the highest elevation point.
3. When the platform is correctly positioned, lag the ramp to the concrete pad with four
5/8” x 6” lag devices with a minimum pull out of 7,000 pounds each.
