Pit Mounted Dock Lifts

Series T2000, 3000, and 4000 pit mounted dock lifts are installed in a concrete pit in the ground or a pit on top of a raised concrete dock. They can also be installed on top of the ground, but they require a long approach ramp. Platform sizes range from 6’ x 8’ to 8’ x 12’. Capacities range from 5,000 to 20,000 lbs. T-50608 is the number one dock lift in the country. Model 2400 is a specialized dock lift designed to fit into most dock leveler pits and accommodate a wider range of vehicles than a dock leveler.
