Edge Dock Leveller
The NGT Edge of Dock Leveler provides a practical transition between the loading dock and vehicle bed, helping forklifts, pallet trucks and other material handling equipment move goods more efficiently during loading and unloading.
Mounted directly at the dock edge, its compact design makes it an effective solution for facilities that require reliable dock access without installing a conventional pit-style dock leveler.

Overview
A Compact Solution for Efficient Dock Operations
The NGT Edge of Dock Leveler is designed to bridge the transition between a loading dock and the bed of a positioned truck, creating a smoother path for material handling equipment.
Unlike conventional dock levelers installed within a recessed pit, an edge-of-dock leveler is mounted at the front edge of the loading platform, reducing installation complexity where the application and dock geometry are suitable.
It is particularly useful for warehouses, factories and distribution facilities where vehicles generally arrive at relatively consistent bed heights.

Edge of Dock vs Pit-Mounted Dock Leveler
No Conventional Dock Pit Required
One of the strongest reasons to choose an edge-of-dock leveler is its installation format.
Instead of placing the complete leveler inside a recessed dock pit, the unit is installed at the edge of the existing dock face.
| Edge of Dock Leveler | Pit-Mounted Dock Leveler | |
|---|---|---|
| Installation | Dock edge | Recessed dock pit |
| Civil Work | Lower | Higher |
| Platform Size | Compact | Larger |
| Height Compensation | Limited range | Wider range |
| Retrofit Applications | Excellent | Requires suitable construction |
| Vehicle Height Variation | Best with relatively consistent vehicles | Better for wider variation |
| Initial Complexity | Lower | Higher |
| Best For | Compact/retrofit loading bays | High-volume comprehensive dock operations |
Which One Should You Choose?
Choose an Edge of Dock Leveler when vehicle-bed heights are relatively consistent and you want a compact loading solution with less civil modification.
Choose a Pit-Mounted Dock Leveler when your facility handles a wider range of vehicle heights or requires greater vertical compensation and intensive dock operation.
