Wayne Dalton™ Introduces New Hydraulic Dock Leveler Models
Wayne Dalton™ is excited to announce the launch of its new hydraulic dock levelers: Models H68WD and H78WD. Designed with a focus on durability, safety, and ease of installation, these models are built to withstand demanding environments. They mark the latest additions to the company’s expanding dock equipment lineup, reinforcing its status as a Total Solutions Partner in the industry.
Innovative Features for Enhanced Performance
The new dock levelers incorporate exclusive design elements that set a new standard for performance in the field. Engineers at Wayne Dalton placed a strong emphasis on safety and usability. The features include a textured powder-coat finish, robust three-wheel support bracing, and removable full-range toe guards. Recognizing the needs of forklift operators, the design facilitates smooth transitions during product shifts, enhancing operational efficiency.
Streamlined Installation Process
Technical Sales Dock Manager Tim Wolfe expressed that the innovative X-frame design provides a significantly cleaner pit design compared to competitors. One of the standout features is that installers only need to place shims under the main cylinder, adjustable lip keepers, and maintenance braces. This simplifies the installation process dramatically, saving both time and effort.
Exceptional Safety Standards
To maximize performance and safety, the hydraulic lift cylinder is strategically positioned at the center of the unit. This thoughtful placement, along with rear hinge cutouts that identify fillet weld locations, makes installation substantially easier. The coverage of deck-to-beam welds boasts an impressive 34%, a standard that leads the industry, ensuring long-lasting durability.
Stable and Secure Operations
The design also prioritizes stability when lifting the levelers from a truck. Four steel fork loops, securely bolted to the deck, provide multiple options for chain lifting with forklifts. This dual accessibility—either from inside or outside the building—prevents sliding when the levelers are stacked, enhancing overall operational safety.
Quick and Easy Positioning
Efficiency in operations is further supported by the top-side adjustable leveling bolts. These allow for rapid positioning of the hydraulic dock leveler in relation to the building floor, eliminating the need for any shimming or welding at the rear of the pit. The combination of these features keeps processes steady and safe for all users.
Versatile Capacity Options
The H68WD and H78WD models cater to various needs, available in capacities of 30k, 35k, 40k, and 45k Comparative Industry Rating (CIR). Moreover, they are certified according to ANSI MH30.1-2022 standards. Customers purchasing these models alongside a Wayne Dalton commercial door benefit from an enhanced two-year limited warranty, reflecting the company's commitment to quality.
