Rail Dock Leveler Ask An Expert Request a Quote Request Service Or give us a call: 1-888-606-9415 Rail dock levelers function like standard dock levelers and are traditionally powered by a hydraulic system. These rail dock levelers are specially designed to maximize safety and efficiency when loading and unloading rail cars. They are designed to slide horizontally to directly access a railcar position, which a fixed-position leveler would have great difficulty in achieving. They come with a variety of safety features that ensure safe handling of material as it is transferred from the rail car to your facility, and vice versa. Rail dock levelers are custom built to meet the specifications of your building, allowing you to design your leveler around the various rail car types. With load ratings ranging from 30,000 to 80,000 lbs. and standard widths of 7 to 10 feet, rail dock levelers are the go-to choice for rail car material handling solutions.
