McGuire’s HED Hydraulic Edge-of-Dock (EOD) Leveler serves as the link between an
unloading vehicle on a platform where a minimal variance exists between the vehicle and
the platform, with a recommended working range of +/-3” and a max operating range of =/-5”,
above and below dock level. It features McGuire’s Standard Nema 4 control panel. This
accepts all single- and three-phase voltage requirements with a single push-button control
for easy activation of its two-cylinder design: with one main cylinder for the deck plate section
and a lip cylinder to activate the lip. A hydraulic main cylinder raises the platform, and a
separate hydraulic lip cylinder controls the lip. These are mounted with an easily accessible
motor/pump located under the unit. Besides its convenient placement, the motor/pump features
a translucent reservoir for ease of maintenance to provide consistent and dependable operation.
The HED comes complete with automatic, push-button activation from a wall-mounted control
panel and hydraulic restore functions. To use the leveler, the dock attendant simply depresses
and holds the raise button on the dock controls to raise the leveler.

If you are looking for low-cost units and a lighter alternative to full-sized dock levelers, then the
“MEDLF” Series might be the one to look for. The Mechanical Edge-of-Dock (EOD) Leveler is
usually used in an environment with minimal difference between the platform and the vehicle,
usually for a building and a truck. The leveler unit is typically mounted to the dock face, and the
placement of the lifting bar keeps the dock attendant in the safest position possible to operate
the unit. This particular leveler brands its “lift free” handle feature, which makes it easier for the
operator to use the leveler. The simple two-step process only involves pulling back on the handle
to lift and push forward to extend the unit into the trailer-- eliminating all forms of lifting, bending,
and pushing comparable to those of old-designed edge-of-dock levelers. Another friendly feature
of this type of leveler is its automatic return to the stored position once the trailer departs the dock.
All levelers by McGuire can be equipped with a lightweight communication system and vehicle
restraints to prevent unexpected trailer departures from the loading dock.
