Abstract
A dock leveler for a loading dock. In some embodiments, the dock leveler may include a bridge assembly including a deck and a lip extendable from the deck, where the lip is pivotally movable between a stowed position and an extended position. The dock leveler may also include a frame supporting the bridge assembly. The dock leveler may also include a beam and a lip keeper. The beam may include a first end positioned proximate a front edge of the dock. The lip keeper assembly may be configured to selectively secure the lip in the stow position. The lip keeper assembly may be adjustably coupled to the beam permitting adjustment relative to the beam toward or away from the front edge of the dock.
