Lip Length
There are three standard lengths of air/hydraulic powered dock leveler lips, 16”, 18", and 20". Â The length of dock leveler lip required depends on various factors including but not limited to:
Tapered Lip
The dock leveler lip is tapered narrower on the end that is positioned on the truck. This option was required more in the past when 7ft wide dock levelers were to be utilized and when trailers were generally narrower than today. Tapering of the lip reduces the effective width of the dock leveler and is not required in most cases.
HDRS Series Roll-Off Stop Lip Dock Leveler
The HDRS series roll-off stop lip dock leveler is designed and built to provide all the benefits of the series HD dock leveler with the additional benefit of providing a formidable barrier.
Lip Hinge Grease Fittings
Lip hinge grease fittings facilitate the application of grease to the dock leveler lip hinge.
