Functional Description

The A-Series Hydraulic Dock Leveler serves as a bridge
between a loading dock floor and the load bed of a transport
vehicle. The leveler's upper deck plate, complete with a
hinged, vertically hanging lip, is in a shallow pit at the edge
of the dock, flush with the dock's edge and the floor surface.
It is hydraulically operated via the Blue Genius™ Control
Station.
After the door has been opened, the rear of a transport
vehicle is parked and restrained in place against the outer
wall of the loading dock, in working alignment with the dock
leveler. The leveler is then operated by maintaining pressure
on a touch button to raise the front of the deck. The hinged
lip plate raises with the deck, its leading edge swinging out
horizontally over the rear of the transporter vehicle once the
deck reaches its fully raised position. The dock attendant
releases the push button, causing the deck and extended lip
to lower together until the lip's underside comes to rest on
the load bed of the transporter vehicle. A solid bridge is now
formed between the dock and the truck.
During loading/unloading operations, both deck and lip
automatically follow the raising and lowering movement of
the transporter vehicle.
Once all work is completed, the dock attendant returns the
leveler to its original stored position.

Stop Button Function

The Blue Genius Control Station has a temporary 'STOP' button
TM
for situations where the dock leveler might need to be stopped
immediately or left in a certain position because of an unexpected
interference or a potentially dangerous situation.
Touching the 'STOP' button during operation will cut the power to
the unit and cause the leveler to lower to a hard stop via gravity.
To exit the 'STOP' mode touch 'ESC'.
