Top of Ground Instant Dock Lift Models for Category A Lifting Equipment

Instant dock lifts are designed for the use of Category A light equipment such as hand carts, four-wheeled carts and pallet jacks. They simply require positioning and plugging into a power receptacle. When the units are raised, the ramps become wheel chocks that prevent carts from rolling off of the platforms.

The pull back chain on the hinged bridge allows the operator to pull the bridge back and secure it while the unit is being lowered, without stepping around the load. Wheel and dolly transport sets are typically standard on 5,000-lb and under units and allow limited portability on smooth concrete.

Lift capacities range from 4,000 to 6,000 lb. The dock lift platform size should be 6 ft x 6 ft to 8 ft x 10 ft.

* Typically all models are equipped with a hinged bridge that has a pull back chain.

* All models have a combination approach ramp, wheel chock.
