Product Description

Guardian Industrial Products Hydraulic Edge of Dock Leveler | Model HED7225 | 72" W | 25,000 lb Capacity | For Conventional Trailer Dock


DESCRIPTION

Engineered for speed, safety, and long-term durability, the Guardian 72" Hydraulic Edge of Dock Leveler is a powerful dock solution designed to bridge the gap between loading docks and conventional trailers with confidence. Built in the USA from heavy-duty structural steel, this dock leveler eliminates the constant repositioning and labor associated with traditional dock boards streamlining every loading and unloading cycle.

With a 25,000 lb weight capacity, this hydraulic edge of dock leveler is ideal for warehouses, distribution centers, freight terminals, and industrial shipping docks handling pallet jacks, forklifts, and heavy rolling loads. The solid-state hydraulic system features an enclosed industrial power pack with a 4,000 PSI-capable hydraulic pump, delivering smooth, quiet, and dependable operation every time.

Designed for one-person operation, the leveler activates via a rotary control switch, automatically deploying the lip and returning to the stored position when the trailer departs. A 5" above and below dock operating range, combined with a 12.75" lip projection, ensures secure contact with trailers of varying heights. Integrated dock bumpers, steel gussets, and tread plate construction protect both the dock face and equipment from impact damage.

Compliant with OSHA and ANSI MH14.1 standards, this hydraulic dock leveler offers unmatched reliability, safety, and efficiency making it a smart, permanent upgrade for high-volume loading environments.

Key Features

  • Heavy-Duty Steel Construction ensures long-lasting durability for high-cycle loading docks handling forklifts, pallet jacks, and heavy freight in demanding industrial environments.
  • 25,000 lb Load Capacity supports extreme weight requirements, making it ideal for distribution centers, warehouses, and shipping facilities with frequent heavy trailer traffic.
  • Hydraulic Powered Operation delivers smooth, quiet, and consistent deck and lip movement using a fully enclosed industrial power pack rated for up to 4,000 PSI.
  • One-Person Easy Control allows fast dock operation through a rotary activation switch, improving workflow efficiency while reducing labor strain and operator fatigue.
  • Automatic Return System safely lowers the deck back to the stored position immediately after trailer departure, enhancing dock safety and minimizing damage risks.
  • 72-Inch Wide Platform provides ample surface area for safe forklift and pallet jack travel, improving load stability and reducing edge-related accidents.
  • 5-Inch Vertical Range accommodates trailers positioned above or below dock height, delivering flexibility for facilities servicing multiple truck configurations.
  • 12.75-Inch Lip Projection ensures secure trailer contact, reducing bounce, slippage, and unsafe loading conditions during high-volume dock operations.
  • 55,000 PSI Steel Tread Plate construction on deck and lip offers superior traction, strength, and resistance to deformation under continuous heavy loads.
  • Continuous Greased Lip Hinge promotes smooth articulation and long service life while reducing maintenance downtime in busy shipping environments.
  • Formed Steel Gussets reinforce the leveler in the stored position, adding structural integrity and preventing sag or fatigue over time.
  • Integrated Dock Bumpers protect the dock face and leveler assembly from trailer impact, reducing repair costs and extending equipment lifespan.
  • Forklift-Friendly Installation uses steel rivets at hinge points, allowing fast and efficient placement without extensive dock reconstruction.
  • OSHA & ANSI Compliant Design meets or exceeds CS202-56 and ANSI MH14.1 safety standards for commercial and industrial dock applications.
  • Made in the USA Quality reflects superior manufacturing standards, dependable materials, and consistent performance trusted by logistics professionals nationwide.

Customer photo review of Forax Gas Powered Mulcher | Model GP40 | 40" Cutting Width | 14-15 HP | For Tractors

Seems to be in order delivery wasn't able to use lift gate but tractor was able to take pallet off the truck bed. No damage to machine after visual check. won't know how it runs until rain stops. Staff at RippingitOutdoors was very quick to call and double check the type of backet needed for the unit to ensure the online order matched( to fit my skid steer quick attachment on my l2501 Kubota). Explained the teeth & belt could be ordered through them directly over the phone when/if needed as well as selling other types of custom made brackets for Utv's ect. All around Great customer service and would purchase from again.

Customer photo review of Ferntree Mini Excavator Forestry Mulcher | Model FF-L Series | 22"-30" Cutting Width | Machine Size 2.5- 6 Ton | For Mini Excavator

easy buying process and great communication. Mulcher works great, easily clears overgrown brush and even mulched a 5" thick mulberry tree fairly easily. running it off of my old 331 bobcat with no problem powering the drum at all. Only small issue which isn't a big deal is that the supplied hoses are about 16" too short to operate a full range of motion.

Over all built well. I like it is all cast iron and metal and not plastic. Had to modify fertilizer disc mount to fit correctly, nothing major, a little grinding. I modified the center link hitch point to accommodate my John Deere quick hitch. Have yet to plant with it but I’m sure it will work perfect. Love the grease fittings everywhere. Reminds me of the old farm equipment I grew up on, and still use periodically.

My firminator RT was delivered in good condition in ND. I will be using it next week. I have a 45 HP John Deere tractor that is supposed to lift 2000 lb but really struggles to lift this 6 foot firminator RT. I will just have to use in as a two pass operation for now. I do wish there was a better operating manual for this unit. Maybe that is something you can work on. I will give you an update once I start using it in a few days.

Put this on Kubota 900 with winch hookup. This thing is a beast (within reason). I named it ‘Homie”, cause Homie don’t play. It will take care of stuff up to about 2” in diameter. You still have to remember that this is NOT like the ones on a bobcat or larger machinery. It does have its limits. But all in all I am very satisfied with it. Now on to the good part! The staff at Ripping It are outstanding! Especially Kayla in the office. She has gone above and beyond on making sure everything went right, from ordering to questions about installation. This young lady would be of great value at ANY company ! Her knowledge and personality are like over the top. This is my first experience with Ripping It Outdoors and I can only say positive things about them. With all that being said, I do fill out reviews on things I buy, AND I give a honest review. If it’s bad then you will know it. But if it’s good, well I tell the truth ! Again Kayla, from the bottom of my heart, a great big THANK YOU for all your help and just talking to you. I feel like we’ve know each other for years!

Hi, my name is Ken. I’ve had a great experience with Ripping It Outdoors. I purchased a Forax Hp40 Mulcher for my mini excavator. Kayla Patterson is who I dealt with from the beginning until I received it at my house. She has been wonderful to work with and looking forward to working with her with any other orders I purchase. Kayla answered any questions I had and kept me updated throughout the whole process, can’t say it enough just a wonderful person to work with!!

Forax Ultralight Mulcher | Model HP40 | Cutting Width 40" | Carrier 2-4-Ton | For Excavators

These are great feeders if you don’t have any feral hogs but if the hogs tear off the wiring harness from the timer to the feeder motor, you’re disabled. Then, if you ask for help from Outback, they refer you to the dealer but really you’re on your own for parts and repairs. I have three Outback feeders that work as designed. They’re 13 years old and have always served well but this feeder misses the mark by a very high margin. I’d NEVER buy this product again. Feeders need to be dependable and this unit is not.
