Operation
The platform is raised by activating the pull-chain release assembly at the rear of the platform. A multi-spring counterbalance assembly raises the platform and a fully yieldable hinged lip is extended at the top of the upward travel. The attendant walks the platform down onto the trailer bed. If the trailer bed is below dock level the attendant activates a second pull chain at the front of the platform during walk down. Operable range is 12” above and 12” below dock level. The platform is designed to service out of level trailers with up to 4” of flex and remains flush with dock floor. A full float hold down provides platform float for vertical trailer movement.
