Dock Leveler
Dock Levelers are special case of hydraulic equipment wherein a docking platform is provided at one end which is to be latched over the truck/container floor level, thus a continuous surface is available for movement of material on the truck. They have an inbuilt leveling system to adjust to the height difference emerging before and after the loading of the truck.
