Dock leveler installation from the preparation up to the final process must be meticulously done to protect and improve the operation of your warehouse facility.

What is an air-powered dock leveler?

Air-powered dock Levelers provide an airbag to raise and lower the loading dock levelers. The airbags in these levelers are similar to the stylish airbags found in the automotive. Level airbags are created from a woven polypropylene fiber membrane, coated with a durable PVC shell. These strengthen air bladders that take advantage of their size to move heavy loads with low-pressure air.

Air-powered levelers feature high volume and low-pressure pump inflates the air bags. It eliminates the messy hydraulic fluids using air and prevents issues with leaky seals and connections.

When it comes to powered dock levelers, both the air and hydraulic systems are capable of providing years of trouble-free operation. The air-powered dock levelers we offer are the following:
