Beacon® Air Dock Levelers with mechanical override for emergencies and power outages, compensate for height differences between truck beds and loading docks. These Pneumatic Powered Levelers feature simple, push-button controls, automatic recycling lip, and operation powered through shop air. The lightweight lowering feature gently lowers lip onto truck bed with just the push of a foot. In case of a power outage, units may be operated manually using a pull-chain.
