Vestil FM-0648 Mechanical Edge-O-Dock Leveler, 48 Inch Usable Width, 6,000 lb Capacity, 5 Inch Service Range 

Get a safer, faster bridge from dock to trailer without the cost and downtime of a pit-style leveler. The Vestil FM-0648 Mechanical Edge-O-Dock Leveler mounts permanently to the face of a dock and provides a rugged, reliable transition surface for everyday loading and unloading.

Operation is simple: insert the actuation handle into the inner lip pocket, pull down toward the floor, then push forward until the lip rests on the truck bed. When the trailer pulls away, the lip retracts automatically behind the bumper face. The tread plate surface improves traction for a more confident, non-slip drive-over, and the design does not require a concrete recess, making installation easier and more economical. Built from solid steel and supplied with dock bumpers, the FM-0648 is a practical choice for busy docks that need dependable performance.
