Description
A lowered height of only 6” allows ground level access without the need for construction of a pit. With vertical travel of 54”, a Pentalift Low Profile Elevating Dock can accommodate truck/trailer heights from pick-ups to semi-trailers. Since it requires no pit and has the capability to be semi-portable, a Low Profile Elevating Dock is an effective solution for ground level doors, confined spaces and leased building applications. Sizes and capacities are available to suit a wide range of applications.
The Pentalift Low Profile Elevating Dock is a surface mounted, stationary or semi-portable unit offering several deck sizes with different capacities. The design of the LPE unit ensures maximized stability and full use of the deck area for product transfer. Cylinder placement is completely beneath the deck eliminating above deck obstructions common to other designs with vertical or mast type cylinder arrangements. Full use of the deck area adds the capability to load/unload in all four directions for greater efficiency and reduced product damage.
Ground Level Access
A minimal lowered height of 6” facilitates easy access for all types of material handling equipment. A hinged approach ramp can be mounted on the fixed end of the deck of the elevating dock to provide ground access.
Truck/Trailer Access
A 18” long x 60” wide hinged one piece steel checker plate lip is mounted on the rolling end of the deck of the elevating dock to facilitate access to the truck/trailer. Lip options include: aluminum lip, larger sizes, one piece and/or split construction.
Pit construction is not required for the low profile model. This saves installation costs and makes relocation easier than it is for pit mounted elevating docks.
Options:
- automatic mechanical roll off stop
- retaining cradles and wear plates
- aluminum lip
- split lip
- larger lip sizes
- up travel limit switch
- deck mounted power unit
- power units with increased hp for faster lift times
- semi-portable design
- other options available
