Hydraulic Dock Levelers Stop Stump Out

There is good reason to choose one that delivers free-fall protection by way of a velocity fuse. Without this feature the leveler may rapidly descend if the truck pulls away unexpectedly, which could lead to personnel injury or damaged products and capital investments.
A properly equipped hydraulic dock leveler can help prevent rapid leveler descent, even while managing heavy loads; it can also help maintain a safe and reasonable slope from the facility floor to the trailer bed while floating below and above dock height.

what would happen if that hydraulic component fails whilst a forklift is on it, whats going to stop it from dropping uncontrollably?

[@RiteHiteVideos]

The hydraulic cylinder used by Rite-Hite® is designed to do more than simply lift and lower the leveler - it's engineered to support the weight of a forklift and the product during loading and unloading practices. In the event of a free fall situation causing a rapid movement in fluid, a non-adjustable hydraulic velocity fuse limits platform free fall to no more than 3”.
