FEATURE SUMMARY
MODEL CA AIR-POWERED DOCKLEVELER
WITH PATENTED NEXT GENERATION AIRÆË TECHNOLOGY
DESCRIPTION
The AIRDOCK. Series of air powered dock levelers are equipped with all the standard performance features needed to deliver the best return
on investment. The patented lifting system utilizes a revolutionary Protected Single-ChamberÆË balanced air bag and Pull-ActionÆË design
reduces parts and friction while allowing easy inspection and access to the deck. The self-contained design provides easy handling &
installation with a fully protected bag and a lift system that does not contact the floor of the pit. Available in capacity ratings from 25,000 to
45,000 pounds in increments of 5,000 pounds, and standard nominal platform sizes of 6 & 7 feet wide x 6 & 8 feet long. Standard features
include full operating range telescoping side guards, night security locks, integral maintenance support, safety black & yellow side skirt labels,
and two heavy-duty dock bumpers.
OPERATION
The operator presses the control button until the deck is fully raised. Releasing the button activates the Auto-Descent LipÆË system that
extends the lip as the deck lowers placing it smoothly onto the truck bed. The leveler will float up and down and side to side with the truck
during loading to maintain lip contact at all times. To store the dock leveler, the operator presses the control button that activates the lift system
allowing the lip to automatically retract to a pendant position, releasing the button deactivates the air power to store the leveler in a fully
supported position level with the building floor. The standard 16" lip will extend out 11" beyond a 4" bumper and engage a truck 12" above
and below building floor level. Note: Longer lip option reduces above dock service range.
CONSTRUCTION
Unitized platform structure with dual side 33% beam to deck weld pattern and continuous welds at the header plate and hinge tubes for
superior strength. The deck plate, lip plate and beams are constructed from high-tensile steel and safety tread top running surface. The frame
has four upright and two forward supports with a fixed rear hinge connection to eliminate pinch, trip or impact. A security lock system is
provided to prevent illegal building entry when the overhead door is closed. Full width front and rear hinge rods are constructed of SAE 1045
superior shaft and are factory coated with anti-seize lubricant. A single NEMA 4 push-button control operates the 120-Volt fan motor.
