Simply pull the release chain located at the rear of the platform to release the hold-down assembly. Heavy-duty springs lift the platform above the truck bed and smoothly extend the lip.

When the truck is in place, the dock is “walked” down onto the truck bed. Less than 90 lb of walk-down force is needed to lower the deck into position. If below-level operation is required, a second pull-chain located at the front of the platform is activated during walk down.

During loading and unloading, the hold-down system uses a disc brake to ensure seamless dock movement to that of the trailer suspension. The platform “flexes” up to 4 inches when under load to ensure full-width contact between the lip and the trailer bed.

When the truck departs, the lip automatically drops and can be lowered into the lip keeper to secure the platform.

• Fixed rear hinge remains flush with the floor to eliminate pinch points and cross-traffic obstructions. Full-width pin along with four vertical frame supports absorb cross-traffic impact.
• Hydraulic lip dampener controls extension speed and cushions end motion.
• Spring-biased counterbalanced system with single-point tension adjustment of walk-down pressure ensures efficient and reliable operation.
