Dock levelers are used to bridge the gap between the dock and the trailer and adjust for any height differences.  The pull-chain semi-automatic mechanical dock leveler is the most common type used.  It is important to know the weight capacity of the dock levelers as well as rated safe height range.  It is also important to have regularly scheduled preventative maintenance performed on dock levelers.

A step up from the mechanical dock leveler, the hydraulic dock leveler uses an electric pump and hydraulic cylinder to engage/disengage the dock leveler.  This works from a remote switch which is generally mounted on the wall next to the dock.  Docks with high volume will benefit from this automation.
