Pit Style U-Series Air Powered
30,000 to 45,000 lb (13,636 to 20,455 kg) Rated Capacities
The Blue Giant U-Series airbag dock leveler (patent pending) combines our advanced, environmentally friendly air lifting
system with the durable structural design that’s made
us a global leader in the design, manufacture, and distribution of
loading dock systems.
U-Series Air Powered Highlights
Easy to Operate
The U-Series airbag dock leveler comes standard with a NEMA4X / IP65 rated single push button control for sequenced deck and lip operation. When activated, the air bag inflates, raising the deck. When the button is released, the bag deflates, allowing the deck to lower smoothly onto the trailer bed.
Structural Integrity
A minimum of six heavy-duty U-beam channels are welded to the underside of the deck at dynamic impact points, preventing ‘dishing’ and extending the life of the dock leveler. For more demanding applications, the standard fixed rear hinge design can be advanced to assured motion float, a 4” (101mm) maintained deck tilt that allows the dock leveler to withstand heavier usage without experiencing deck fatigue.
The Power of Air
The high-volume, low-pressure air lifting system is an environmentally friendly alternative to oil-powered hydraulics. The air bag can operate in extreme temperature conditions and withstand pressure without over-inflating. Its polyvinylchloride-coated polyester fibres make the bag
resistant to chemical or puncture damage.
Designed with Safety in Mind
The airbag dock leveler operates safely and efficiently under the toughest conditions: temperature extremes, heavy usage, and exposure to caustic substances. The deck flexes under load to allow a smooth cross-docking transition, minimizing the risk of worker injury and cargo or
equipment damage. The fall-safe system provides additional protection by limiting platform free-fall.
