Vertical storing dock levelers are an ideal loading dock solution for industries where maintaining a clean, energy efficient warehouse environment is a top priority. They are hydraulic powered dock levelers. The most common use of a vertical storing leveler is in cold storage applications.
As the name implies, vertical storing dock levelers rest in an upright position, inside the warehouse. This configuration offers several advantages over traditional dock levelers. Because the leveler stores in an upright position inside the facility, insulated warehouse doors are able to fully seal the dock door opening and leveler pit. This full door coverage minimizes air leakage and maximizes insulating capabilities compared to conventional pit style dock levelers. When the leveler is in use, a bottom draft pad helps prevent air infiltration, further contributing to the energy savings of this leveler.
