A vehicle leveler which includes a first portion with a leading edge and a trailing edge, the trailing edge is disposed further from the driveway than the leading edge. The leveler also includes a second portion with a leading edge and a trailing edge, the leading edge of the second portion is disposed further from the driveway than the trailing edge of the second portion. The vehicle leveler has a door interlock system with at least one pair of photoelectric sensors with a sensor path. When a vehicle is being loaded or unloaded on the vehicle leveler, and at least one of the vehicle doors is opened, the door blocks the sensor path of the photoelectric sensors and prevents the vehicle leveler from lowering or raising.

A vehicle leveler includes a first portion which has a leading edge and a trailing edge; the trailing edge is disposed further from the driveway than the leading edge. The vehicle leveler also includes a second portion which has a leading edge and a trailing edge; the leading edge of the second portion is attached to the trailing edge of the first portion and the leading edge of the second portion is disposed further from the driveway than the trailing edge of the second portion. The second portion also includes an extension portion. The vehicle leveler also includes opposing side portions which extend the length of and contact the second portion and extension portion, the opposing side portions have a top surface which forms a walkway. A freestanding unitary vehicle wheel guide with a walkway is adjacent to the opposing side portions.

The vehicle leveler having a power unit and a hydraulic system that provides power and allows movement of the first portion and second portion.

Hydraulically-powered vehicle leveler

A vehicle leveler includes a first portion which has a leading edge and a trailing edge; the trailing edge is disposed further from the driveway than the leading edge. The vehicle leveler also includes a second portion which has a leading edge and a trailing edge; the leading edge of the second portion is attached to the trailing edge of the first portion and the leading edge of the second portion is disposed further from the driveway than the trailing edge of the second portion. The second portion also includes an extension portion. The vehicle leveler has opposing tapered edge portions contacting the driveway. The opposing tapered edge portions assist a vehicle backing onto the vehicle leveler and also avoid tire damage to the vehicle.

The vehicle leveler also includes a second portion which has a leading edge and a trailing edge; the leading edge of the second portion is attached to the trailing edge of the first portion and the leading edge of the second portion is disposed further from the driveway than the trailing edge of the second portion. The second portion also includes an extension portion. The vehicle leveler has at least one tension bar connecting the first portion on a proximal end and a lift cylinder on a distal end as well as at least one tension strap. When the vehicle leveler is in an elevated position the tension bar and tension strap keeps the lift cylinder from accidentally shifting.

A portable dock plate which includes a planar ramp that has opposing side members, the ramp also has a top end and a bottom end, the top end includes a lip portion. The dock plate has a first wheel assembly and a second wheel assembly. The first wheel assembly includes a wheel, wheel lock linkage, a first locking pin with corresponding first locking pin holes, a lip-lowering apparatus and a lip-raising apparatus. The second wheel assembly has a wheel and a second locking pin with corresponding second locking pin holes. The dock plate also includes opposing handrails which are connected to the opposing side members, each handrail includes a moveable lever-handle for movement and placement of the dock plate.

Swing gate for a loading dock

A modular loading dock that includes a planar ramp member with lower and upper ends. The upper end abuts a preexisting structure and the lower end has a lower edge with a lip, the lip is able to be activated between an extended/engaged position to contact a truck bed. The ramp member has an at least thirteen foot long hydraulically-adjustable ramp section with an integrated dock leveler, the entire length of the ramp section is able to be moved between an upward and downward position. The loading dock also includes a base with top and bottom surfaces, the top surface has an opening to receive a dock leveler into the opening and a dock housing consisting of a modular frame mounted onto the base in sections. The length and adjustability of the planar ramp member allows accommodation of large-sized trailers as well as smaller-in-size delivery trucks and vans.
