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.
