Specialty Dock Levelers

Serco Versadock Dock Leveler
With the popularity of air-ride suspensions, high-capacity “low boy” trailers and the increasing use of low-profile tires, truck bed heights can be extended beyond the 12″ reach of most conventional levelers, making service of these trailers difficult or impossible. And with trailer widths averaging up to 8′ 6″, conventional 7′ 0″ wide levelers leave little or no room for forklift maneuvering. When freight handlers attempt to “cube out” the trailer, loads are often impossible to end-load without the use of dedicated docks or expensive truck-leveling devices.

Serco Power-Assisted Dock Leveler Model PAL
The PAL combines two proven technologies, the durability of a mechanical leveler and Serco’s proven, high-performance, hydraulic operation. Unlike mechanicals, which have a strong upward bias, the PAL utilizes a hydraulic power-pack assembly and counterbalance assist to produce a slight downward bias. The PAL’s unique hybrid design eliminates complex hold-down systems required by mechanicals to keep them stored. Also gone are the costs and downtime associated with frequent adjustments and hold-down replacement.
Serco’s Power-Assisted Leveler is designed to maintain an efficient operation 24-7. In the event of a power failure during loading/unloading, the PAL can be restored, and the building secured, with an easy-to-use manual override device. If busy schedules demand that operations continue, the tool can be used to position the leveler manually.
The PAL also incorporates Serco’s exclusive Reflex™ anti Stump-out system provides fluid free-float motion while also providing a measure of free-fall protection in the event of premature trailer separation.
