Telescoping-Lip Dock Levelers Solve End Load Issues
Nordock’s revolutionary Telescoping-Lip design is incorporated in both vertical and horizontal-storing dock levelers, providing the perfect solution to easily end load a trailer without compromising on safety or security.
✓ Built for strength: Hydraulic dock levelers are manufactured in Canada and tested to withstand impact and handle the heaviest loads, with a 33% deck-to-beam weld ratio and up to 15-20% heavier than traditional dock levelers.
✓ Center deck support that lasts: High-quality, consistent placement of welds and proper center deck support allows for even weight distribution throughout the hydraulic dock leveler.
✓ Significant energy savings: The Telescoping-Lip allows dock doors to fully close till the dock pit and provide significant energy savings especially in cold storage applications.
✓ Premium safety: Open and close the hydraulic dock leveler with a push of a button, unlike mechanical dock levelers which require workers to manually open and close the dock lip, causing workplace injuries to the neck, shoulders and back.
Information
Significant Energy Savings for the Cold Storage Industry
Installing the right dock leveler is imperative for the cold storage industry. Nordock’s cold storage dock levelers effectively seal the fourth side of the pit during loading operations to maximize energy efficiency while preventing insects, pests, dust and white light infiltration—key food and personnel safety hazards auditors check most. Telescoping-Lip dock leveler models also allow dock doors to fully close till the dock pit.

Exclusive Telescoping-Lip Technology
Telescoping-Lip dock levelers are imperative for climate-controlled facilities where safety and high operational efficiency is essential. Telescoping-Lip dock levelers are controlled with the push of a button for automatic storage and accurate positioning of the lip to accommodate for easy end loading.
Constructed to Support the Heaviest Loads in Demanding Applications
The majority of dock levelers that are available on the market use inconsistent spot welds on one side of the hinge that provides significantly insufficient support to the center deck. Nordock’s hydraulic dock leveler lips use consistent 4″ welds that encompass both sides of every hinge, delivering superior center deck support that is able to handle the heaviest loads.
