DESCRIPTION
The Guardian Industrial Products 66" Edge of Dock Leveler is a rugged, USA-made dock solution designed to bridge the gap safely and efficiently between your loading dock and refrigerated trailers. Built from heavy-duty steel and engineered for high-traffic warehouse environments, this dock leveler delivers 20,000 lb load capacity without the hassle of loose dock boards.
Ideal for cold storage facilities, food distribution centers, and logistics operations, this edge of dock leveler installs directly to the dock face, allowing fast, reliable trailer servicing as trucks back in. The torsion spring lift assist requires only 28–34 lbs of lifting torque, making daily operation easy on workers while improving productivity and safety.
With a generous 27.75" dock-to-truck span and a working range of 5 inches above or below dock height, this leveler adapts to varying trailer heights commonly found with refrigerated trailers. Integrated dock bumpers protect both the building and trailer, while OSHA-compliant design ensures confidence in every load cycle.
When durability, safety, and efficiency matter most, the Guardian 66" Edge of Dock Leveler is a long-term material handling investment built to perform shift after shift.
