Models FH and FHE Dock Levelers – Performance & Ease of Use

• Push-button electro-hydraulic operation
• Automatically actuated hydraulic beveled lip.
• Maintenance-free hydraulics.
• Full range toe guard protection
• Hydraulic fall safe protection
• Optional hydraulic truck restraint system with driver safety communications package.

Tilts to either side - up to 4” (102 mm) - when loaded. Allows full width contact between lip and truck bed, preventing damage to forks, tires, steering system and load, and prolongs life of dock leveler bed.
Rugged, wall-mounted, single-shielded, push-button control for ease of operation (FHE).
Multi push-button control station allows operator to select automated or manual control
functions with options for independent deck and lip operation with standard automatic return to stored position (FH)
Hydraulic lip cylinders increase operating efficiency, reduce maintenance requirements.
Velocity fuse fall safe restricts free fall to within 3” (76 mm).
Continuous duty rated hydraulic power system with 1 HP motor available for all electrical requirements
UL/CSA approved electrical components

Steel Guards full line of Dock Accessories. They allow traffic from the ground up into a truck bed, or from dock level down to the ground, whichever fits your application. Heel risers allow trucks and semi trailers to be positioned accurately above the dock for more efficient loading and unloading of freight.

Widths of 18" and 24" and lengths to accommodate both single, dual, or tandem axle trailers. Wheel risers can be portable or permanently positioned. Custom sizes available.

The MD-CH Series hydraulic edge-of-dock leveler from Steel Guard Safety is ideally suited for applications where installation of pit levelers is not feasible or where standard fleet bed heights are serviced at the loading dock. The MD-CH Series is easily installed to the dock face providing an efficient self storing docking unit, with ease of use at the touch of a button.

MD-CH Hydraulic Highlights

Hydraulic, maintenance-free cylinders control the lip operation
Smooth top plate transition.
Grease fittings minimize friction.
Optional grip handle for use as maintenance stand
Rugged, remote mount, push-button NEMA 4 control, for ease of use.
Cylinders and motor pre-fitted to edge-of-dock assembly.
1 HP motor.
Lifting hole in lip allows for quick and easy handling by installer.

Structural

Deck and lip plates of premium grade 50,000 psi minimum yield four-way diamond tread plate.
Heavy-duty 3/8î x 6î back beam.
One-piece, continuous front and rear hinge pins for enhanced strength and durability.
Lip bevel helps protect forklift tires and steering systems and cargo.
Two (2) molded rubber bumpers bolted onto heavy-duty steel block extensions help protect building and dock from damage.

Dock Bumpers and Wheel Chocks
Wheel chocks protect dock equipment, building walls, cargo and personnel.
OSHA and ANSI require the use of wheel chocks (as a minimum standard) whenever material handling equipment is used to load or unload at the dock.

Standard Features

Heavy duty molded rubber wheel chock 8" W x 9" D x 5.5" H
15' of galvanized chain
Wall bracket to safely store the chock.

Dock Plates are ideal for handtruck and pallet jack traffic. These rectangles of steel or aluminum with a locking leg come with a hand hole for easy moving.  They offer the lightest and most economical solution to your loading / unloading needs.

Dock Boards are perfect for forklift and other vehicle traffic. Similar to plates but with added structural components above, and sometimes below, the plate. Safety, longevity and productivity are the hallmark of dock boards.

Wheel risers allow trucks and semi trailers to be positioned properly above loading docks for more efficient loading and unloading of freight. Widths of 18" and 24". Lengths to accommodate both single, dual, or tandem axle trailers. Wheel risers can be portable or permanently positioned. Custom sizes available.

• Wheel Risers Eliminate unsafe, below dock loading conditions
• Wheel Risers Reduce damage to loading dock equipment
• Heights up to 12"

Steel Wheel Risers offer 40,000 lb capacity per pair and have (4) tabs with 9/16" holes for anchoring. Fork pockets in place of tabs are available at no additional cost.

Aluminum Wheel Risers offer 30,000 lb capacity per pair and have cutouts for lifting by hand. Tabs in place of cutouts can be added at no additional cost.

The same high quality construction features found in the stationary models are incorporated into all Steel Guard S Series lifts.

• weather-resistant, all steel housing.
• precision velocity fuses on each hydraulic cylinder eliminate platform free-fall.
• hard chromed pivot points fitted with lifetime-lubricated bearings or Teflon coated bronze bushings.
• Indicator sensor bars and high visibility striping provide four sided toe protection
• Sturdy steel handrails with 4" (107 mm) kick plate 
• barrier chains on both ends provide added operator safety.
• An 18" (457 mm) long lip with lifting chain on the rolling end (standard).
