Abstract
The leveler is positioned upon the flat top surface of the truck apron at some predetermined position in front of the dock. In the down position the surface cover plate of the leveler is parallel with the flat top surface of the truck apron. The lifting is provided by hydraulic cylinders secured to the leveler inwardly from the rear whereby avoiding interference with ancillary dock equipment. Thus, an aperture can be provided in the rear to accommodate a truck restraining device.
