AIRDOCK® Industrial Series Leveler in raised position

AIRDOCK® Fully Protected Single-Chamber Bag in stored position

AIRDOCK® Industrial™ Series

Pull-Action™ Lifting System
The Pull-Action™ lifting system maximizes efficiency by using the entire power of the bag to lift the deck. During the loading operation, the AIRDOCK Air Powered Dock Leveler bag remains stationary and fully protected. The Auto-Descent Lip™ extension uses the natural weight of the deck to activate the lip.
