Vestil FM-3072 Mechanical Edge-O-Dock Leveler, 72 Inch Usable Width, 30,000 lb Capacity, Non-Slip Tread Plate

When your dock handles heavier forklifts and dense pallet loads, you need a bridge plate built to take it, without the expense and construction of a pit leveler. The Vestil FM-3072 Mechanical Edge-O-Dock Leveler permanently mounts to the face of the dock, creating a rugged dock-to-trailer transition surface for high-traffic shipping and receiving.

The operation is simple and repeatable. Place the actuation handle into the pocket of the inner lip, pull down toward the floor, then push forward until the lip rests on the truck bed. When the trailer departs, the lip retracts automatically behind the bumper face. The tread plate design provides positive, non-slip gripping action and does not require a concrete recess, making it a practical upgrade for many docks. With solid steel construction and included dock bumpers, the FM-3072 is built for long-lasting reliability.
