Hydraulic Dock Leveler
The NGT Hydraulic Dock Leveler creates a smooth transition between the loading dock and truck bed, compensating for differences in vehicle height to support efficient movement of forklifts, pallet trucks and palletized goods.
Designed for demanding warehouse and logistics operations, its pit-mounted platform and hydraulically operated lip provide a reliable solution for frequent loading and unloading.

Overview
Built for High-Volume Loading Bays
The NGT Hydraulic Dock Leveler is designed to overcome the difference in height between a warehouse loading dock and different truck beds.
Installed within a recessed dock pit, the leveler raises or lowers as required while its hinged lip extends onto the vehicle bed. This creates a more continuous path for suitable material handling equipment to travel between the warehouse and vehicle.
It is an ideal loading-bay solution for warehouses, manufacturing facilities, distribution centres and logistics operations handling regular inbound and outbound vehicle traffic.
Features
Hydraulic Operation
Powered lifting and lip operation provide convenient control during frequent loading and unloading cycles.
Wider Height Compensation
The adjustable platform accommodates differences between the fixed dock height and varying vehicle-bed heights within the leveler’s specified working range.
Heavy-Duty Construction
Engineered for repetitive industrial loading operations involving forklifts, pallet trucks and palletized materials.
Hinged Lip Design
The integrated lip extends onto the truck bed to create the final connection between the vehicle and loading dock.
Anti-Skid Platform
A textured steel deck provides improved traction for material handling equipment travelling across the leveler.
Pit-Mounted Installation
Integrated into the loading dock for a permanent loading-bay solution suited to frequent operations.
Applications
Warehousing
Manufacturing
Distribution Centres
Logistics & 3PL
Pharma & Chemical
Edge of Dock vs Pit-Mounted Dock Leveler
| 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.
