Reliable, High-Performance Dock Levelers for Any Industrial Application
Looking for safe, durable, and efficient dock levelers to streamline your loading and unloading operations? At CMH Industrial Systems, we offer a full line of dock levelers designed to improve warehouse productivity, reduce downtime, and protect your workforce.
Whether you manage a busy distribution center, manufacturing plant, or logistics facility, our dock levelers deliver the performance and reliability your operation demands.
Types of Dock Levelers We Offer
★ Mechanical Dock Levelers
- Cost-effective and easy to maintain
- Ideal for facilities with standard loading dock activity
- Operated manually using pull-chain activation
There are two main options when it comes to choosing a Mechanical Dock Leveler:
- RHM-4000 Mechanical Dock Leveler
- Fully Automatic Mechanical Dock Leveler
What’s The Difference Between The Two?
Standard Mechanical Dock Leveler
- Operation: Requires manual effort by dock staff. A pull chain is used to release the deck, and body weight is needed to walk it down into position.
- Cost: Lower upfront cost, making it a budget-friendly option.
- Maintenance: Simple design, but wear and tear from frequent manual use may increase service needs.
- Best For: Low- to medium-volume docks with consistent trailer heights and trained operators.
Fully Automatic Mechanical Dock Leveler
- Operation: No manual lifting or chain-pulling required. The leveler cycles automatically (typically via a control panel or sensor), combining the simplicity of mechanical systems with some automation benefits.
- Safety: Reduces risk of strain or injury since there’s no manual operation.
- Efficiency: Faster cycle times improve dock throughput, especially when handling multiple trailers.
- Best For: Higher-volume facilities looking for a safer, semi-automated dock solution without the full cost of a hydraulic system.
Why It Matters
Adding a fully automatic mechanical dock leveler can bridge the gap between manual and hydraulic systems, offering the ease of automation without the complexity or cost of hydraulics. It’s a smart upgrade for facilities looking to improve ergonomics, safety, and efficiency without going fully hydraulic.
★Air-powered levelers
Efficient. Reliable. Low Maintenance.
Upgrade your loading dock with the performance and simplicity of air-powered dock levelers. Designed for durability and ease of use, these levelers provide a smooth, safe transition between the dock and trailer—boosting productivity while reducing maintenance demands.
Why Choose Air-Powered Dock Levelers?
- Push-Button Operation: Simple, one-touch controls make operation fast and effortless.
- Low Maintenance Design: No hydraulic fluid, fewer moving parts, and no messy leaks—just dependable performance day after day.
- Built to Last: Heavy-duty steel construction and a rugged air bladder system stand up to tough dock conditions.
- Improved Safety: Smooth, controlled activation reduces the risk of injury or equipment damage.
Option for Air-Powered Leveler:
→ RHA-4000 Air Powered Dock Leveler
Ideal For:
- Warehouses & Distribution Centers
- Manufacturing Facilities
- Medium to High Volume Loading Docks
How it works:
An industrial-grade air bladder inflates to raise the platform, then deflates to lower it into position. With fewer mechanical components, it’s a cleaner and more sustainable option compared to hydraulic systems.
★Hydraulic levelers
Maximum Performance. Minimal Effort.
When uptime, safety, and efficiency matter most, hydraulic dock levelers deliver unmatched performance. Engineered for heavy-duty applications, these levelers provide smooth, reliable operation with minimal operator effort—perfect for demanding loading dock environments.
Why Choose Hydraulic Dock Levelers?
- Fully Automatic Operation: Raise, lower, and store the leveler with the push of a button—fast, safe, and easy.
- Heavy-Duty Performance: Designed for high-frequency use, hydraulic levelers are ideal for facilities with heavy loads and continuous dock activity.
- Enhanced Safety Features: Includes built-in safety stop, velocity fuse, and maintenance strut for secure operation and servicing.
- Clean & Reliable System: Closed hydraulic circuits reduce wear and tear and minimize exposure to dust and debris.
Option for Air-Powered Leveler:
→ RHH-4000 Hydraulic Dock Leveler
→ RHH-5000 High Capacity Hydraulic Dock Leveler
→ RHJ-5000 Jumbo™ Dock Leveler
What Are the Benefits of Each Hydraulic Dock Leveler?
RHH-4000 Hydraulic Dock Leveler
- Ideal for conventional operations
- Constant contact controls
- Smooth Transition Dok System®
RHH-5000 High Capacity Hydraulic Dock Leveler
- Ideal for heavy loads
- Available drop-off protection
- Smooth Transition Dok System®
RHJ-5000 Jumbo™ Dock Leveler
- Ideal for full-width access
- Available drop-off protection
- Smooth Transition Dok System®
Hydraulic levelers use powered cylinders to raise the platform and extend the lip, creating a seamless bridge from the dock to the trailer. When not in use, the system smoothly retracts and stores automatically with minimal operator input.
