Product Construction
The ramp and lip are constructed of high yield 55,000 PSI type safety tread steel plate. The ramp is a welded, bridge-type structure with structural steel beam deck support, providing a minimum 18″ face contact with the deck plate. Deck supports are secured between full width header plates, front and rear. Continuous spool-type hinges are constructed of seamless tubing. Standard lip is 16″. Hinge shafts are one-piece cold drawn steel, full width. The ramp mounting plate is designed to weld to imbedded channels in the dock face for fixed position operation or to mount on slide rails, which allow lateral positioning of the ramp.
Hydraulics
The self-contained hydraulic pump unit with 1hp totally enclosed motor will provide hydraulic power for all operations. Separate hydraulic cylinders operate the ramp and lip individually. During operation, automatic valving controls functions of the leveler through a regenerative hydraulic circuit. Automatic hydraulics provide power ramp down, power ramp up, power extended and power retraced lip.
Literature
The Pre-wired, Push-button Control Station controls all functions of the leveler. The control station is housed in a gasketed enclosure, which meets NEMA requirements for indoor or outdoor use. The totally enclosed motor is rated at 115v-230v single phase or 208/230v-460v three phase. (Note: Wiring from the Push-button control station to the motor junction box and power source is by others.)

Warranty
Starts from date of installation – Two (2) years standard on all units. Covers exchange or repair of any hydraulic or structural component if found to be defective in manufacture.
Operation
Fully-automatic hydraulic system provides all movement of ramp and lip. Activated via remote push-button control, ramp can be lowered with the lip extended for normal loading operations or lowered with the lip retracted for end load operations. The ramp is stored and locked in the vertical position by push-button command. Ramp movement is stopped an any position from the push-button station. All functions are automated.
