Series HD Hydraulic Dock Leveler
The Pentalift Series HD Hydraulic Dock Leveler offers many beneficial operational and safety features.
STRUCTURAL FEATURES:
- High-strength, 4-way safety tread plate, deck and lip assembly: 55,000 psi yield
- Full-width self cleaning, heavy-wall hinge tube: 70,000 psi yield
- Gussets on lip and headboard hinge maximize support
- 3/8″ Thick, 50,000 psi yield, headboard with bridged gaps
OPERATING FEATURES:
Pentalift Hydraulic Dock Levelers incorporate unique and important operating features to achieve the most safe and reliable operation available in a Hydraulic Dock Leveler. These operating features are described in more detail below.
- A Pentalogic Hydraulic Control Manifold: Operating every hydraulic function with only two moving parts, the Pentalogic Hydraulic Control Manifold revolutionized Dock Leveler Hydraulic control circuitry. Conventional Hydraulic Dock Leveler Control valve circuitry is comprised of several individual function valve assemblies. Their assemblies are constructed from many sub components, increasing the potential of hydraulic component failure and oil leaks. Utilizing only two moving components, the non-adjustable Pentalogic Hydraulic Manifold eliminates all concerns related to on-site adjustment, oil leaks or hydraulic component failure.
- B Hydraulic Power Unit: Incorporates internal filtration system and 1-1/2HP Totally Enclosed Non Ventilated motor. Provides hydraulic flow and pressure to the Pentalogic Hydraulic Manifold. Simple and reliable even in the harshest applications. Hydraulic power units are available in all common single and three phase AC voltages.
CONTROL PANELS:
Pentalift adds value by designing and assembling its own control panels, “in house” at the factory to accommodate the interlocking of other Dock Equipment such as Vehicle Restraints, Overhead Doors and Inflatable Dock Seals/Shelters to create a safe and productive Loading Dock System.
Simple Basic Operation:
- NEMA 12 – wall mounted push button station, facilitates simple basic operation.
- Protects against falling dirt, circulating dust, lint, fibers, filings and against dripping and light splashing of liquids.
- Other NEMA Rated Enclosures are available.
Optional Auto Return, Deck Stop with Independent Lip Control Features
Deck Stop with Independent Lip Control:
- The Deck Stop feature adds the ability for the operator to fully stop the travel of the Dock Leveler deck while in operation, all with one button. This enhances the operation and assists with protecting product loaded a the end of the trailer.
- The independent Lip Control feature allows the dock attendant to have full and complete control of the Dock Leveler lip extension throughout the operating range of the Dock Leveler. It allows easier positioning of the lip for end loading / unloading operations.
Master Control Panels:
Operator confusion or error is addressed by providing a single interlocked and synchronized panel to operate all equipment at the loading dock. Separate Control Panels for each individual piece of equipment can lead to operator confusion and compromised safety.
Incorporates all loading dock equipment operations and control onto one Master Control Panel.
Other Control Panel Options:
- Lockable Electrical Disconnects
- Overhead Door Controls
- GFCI duplex outlets for Dock Light
- Other NEMA Rated Enclosures
- For special requests consult Factory
