Mantis Mechanical Dockleveler

Simply pull the release chain located at the rear of the platform to release the hold-down assembly. Heavy-duty springs lift the platform above the truck bed and smoothly extend the lip.

FEATURES:

Narrow frame makes pit cleaning easier.
Yieldable lip absorbs shock from trucks backing in that can damage the platform and trailer.
Deck Support features high tensile steel channels that are welded to the underside of the deck at dynamic impact points to prevent "dishing" and provide long-term structural integrity.
Fixed rear hinge remains flush with the floor to eliminate pinch points and cross-traffic obstructions. Full-width pin along with four vertical frame supports absorb cross-traffic impact.
2-inch rear angle accommodates easy installation into non-square pits.
Dual fall-safe legs protect against platform free-fall below dock level in the event of premature truck departure.
Hold-Down system controlled by 45,000 PSI precision-milled steel ratchet with 13 deep grooves and four pawls for infinite locking capabilities.
Spring-based counterbalanced system with single point tension adjustment of walk-down pressure ensures efficient and reliable operation.
Ergonomic soft-pull chain requires only 3lbs of force to release the deck. A second chain at the front of the platform permits below-level operation.
Hold-Down assembly features a disk brake and lifting strap rated at 6,500lbs to ensure seamless dock movement to that of the trailer suspension.
