Dock Edge Construction

The procedure for the installation of the Edge-O-Dock dockleveler varies with the dock edge construction and the height differential. The recommended dock edge for installing an Edge-O-Dock unit is a well anchored six inch channel. With a six inch channel embedded in to the dock edge, the installer can weld the ramp and bumper blocks securely into position. The ramp and blocks cannot be welded into position if the dock edge steel is less than six inches. For installations with less than six inches of steel edging a combination of anchor bolts and welding is required. If the dock has no steel edging, a steel plate must be anchored to the floor to provide a surface to weld the ramp to in order to maintain the capacity of the leveler.

Failure to follow the proper installation procedure will decrease capacity of dockleveler.

Recommended dock edge for new construction

The recommended dock edge for new construction is a well anchored 6 inch channel (8.2 lb. minimum). Concrete "J" anchors shall be 1½ inches wide with a length of 6 inches plus 1½ inches bent at 90 degrees on the end. Minimum material

6" Channel thickness shall be ¼ inch. One anchor shall be installed every 12 inches.

Height Differential

The optimum dock height in most cases is 50". On dock heights significantly different than 50", ramps and ramp support angles as shown below must be employed.
