Guardian Industrial Products Hydraulic Edge of Dock Leveler | Model HED7820 | 78″ W | 20,000 lb Capacity | For Conventional Trailer Dock
DESCRIPTION
The Guardian Industrial Products Hydraulic Edge of Dock Leveler is a powerful, permanently mounted dock solution engineered to streamline loading and unloading at high-volume facilities. Built for conventional trailer service, this 78-inch wide hydraulic dock leveler eliminates the lifting, repositioning, and safety concerns of traditional dock boards delivering faster dock cycles and safer material handling.
Manufactured in the USA from heavy-duty structural steel, this leveler boasts an impressive 20,000 lb load capacity, making it ideal for forklifts, pallet jacks, and industrial carts. Its hydraulic operation with automated return ensures smooth deck and lip movement, while solid-state controls allow easy, one-person activation. When the trailer departs, the unit automatically returns to the stored position for immediate dock readiness.
Designed with productivity and protection in mind, the deck and lip are constructed from 55,000 lb minimum yield steel tread plate, reinforced with formed steel gussets for added strength in the stored position. With a 5-inch above and below dock operating range and 12.75-inch minimum lip projection, it bridges gaps reliably across varied trailer heights.
Integrated rubber dock bumpers, a fully enclosed industrial power pack, and compliance with OSHA and ANSI standards make this Guardian edge of dock leveler a dependable, long-term investment for warehouses, distribution centers, and manufacturing facilities seeking efficiency, durability, and operator safety.
