HYDRAULIC DOCK LEVELER
An impressive combination of usability and longevity, Blue Giant Hydraulic Dock Levelers are high-performance systems that operate at the touch of a button. Strategically welded enhanced J-beams provide an exceptional level of structural sturdiness, improving product lifetime.
Hydraulic deck and lip cylinders increase operating efficiency and reduce maintenance requirements, resulting in a significantly lower total cost of ownership compared to mechanical units. Optional independent lip control is available for all models, decreasing both cycle time and energy use (Blue Genius™ Touch Control Panel required).
Superior craftsmanship, ease of operation, and a robust suite of advanced safety features make the Blue Giant Hydraulic Dock Leveler an ideal choice for increased productivity at the loading dock.
STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY
Eight (8) enhanced J-beam channels are welded to the underside of the deck at dynamic impact points to prevent distortion and extend the lifetime of the dock leveler.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
- Platform flexes up to 4″ (102mm) under load, maintaining full-width contact between the lip and the truck bed
- Inverted deck cylinder self-bleeds continually, reducing internal corrosion and increasing velocity fuse efficiency
- Continuous one-piece headboard system intensifies the strength of the deck’s front structure
- High tensile J-beams allow the deck to flex side to side while maintaining back to front rigidity without distorting
Standard Features
- Fixed rear hinge with 4″ (101mm) lateral ramp flex to compensate for non-level trailer bed.
- Working range of 12″ (305mm) above and 12″ (305mm) below dock level.
- Structural deck support includes minimum six each high-tensile solid steel U-beam members
- High tensile steel deck & lip
- 16″ (406mm) long lip, (lip is tapered on 7′ wide models)
- The single push button control station (model SP1) raises an independent hydraulic dock leveler via a constant pressure “I” (UP) button.
