VL Dock Leveler
Companies lose an average of one ton of refrigerated air per dock door per year-when they use pit levelers instead of vertical dock levelers. The Blue Giant VL dock leveler helps preserve internal temperatures, lowering cooling costs and preventing product spoilage. When not in use, the VL dock leveler is parked in the upright position, allowing the overhead door to close completely and prevent unauthorized access to the building
Available in rated capacities of 30,000 to 60,000lbs (13,636 to 27,215kgs)
Structural Integrity
A minimum of six heavy-duty U-beam channels are welded to the underside of the deck at dynamic impact points, preventing "dishing" and extending the life of the dock leveler by up to 50% compared to competitor models.
