Vestil Edge-O-Dock Leveler 72" Wide 20,000 lb Capacity - FM-2072

,

The Vestil FM-2072 Mechanical Edge-O-Dock Leveler provides a dependable and cost-effective solution for bridging the gap between loading docks and trailers. Designed for facilities requiring a permanent dock-mounted loading solution, this rugged steel dock leveler delivers reliable performance for warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturing facilities, and shipping operations.

Engineered with a 20,000 lb uniform capacity and a 72-inch wide tread plate platform, the FM-2072 allows safe and efficient loading and unloading of materials while helping reduce equipment impact and operator fatigue. The durable steel construction withstands demanding industrial environments, while the non-slip tread plate surface enhances traction for forklifts, pallet jacks, and material handling equipment.

Unlike conventional pit-style dock levelers, the Edge-O-Dock design mounts directly to the face of the dock, eliminating the need for costly concrete recesses. The mechanical operation utilizes an actuation handle that allows operators to position the dock leveler quickly and safely. As the trailer departs, the lip automatically retracts behind the dock bumpers, ensuring convenient and reliable operation.

Supplied with dock bumpers, installation hardware, and instructions, the Vestil FM-2072 offers an efficient loading dock upgrade with minimal installation requirements and long-term durability.
