What is a Barrier Lip Leveler?
Under OSHA 1910.26 safety requirement, all elevated work platforms should have
a safety barrier in place to prevent workers or forklift trucks from hazards or
accidents like falling off the edge. Safety barriers like leveler barrier lips are installed
on most pit-style loading dock levelers. Together with a leveler and an extension of
the lip, positioned several inches above the platform, can act as a barrier to prevent
trucks from driving over the edge.

Leveler barrier lips can stay in place until the truck trailer is safely positioned and the
workers can load and unload the trailer. Moreover, it helps prevent forklift trucks from
accidentally hitting the overhead door when closing.

McGuire’s Barrier Lip Leveler
McGuire’s Barrier Lip Leveler safely prevents forklifts, lift trucks, or trailer loads from
driving off the edge of the loading dock or loading bay in both the stored cross-traffic
and below dock end loading position. When in use in the back of a trailer the Barrier
Lip offers a smooth transition between the platform and lip. Moreover, it provides
protection while allowing processing of end load operations.

Around the Clock Protection
McGuire Barrier Lip is designed with superior structural steel ramp while in a stored
position, providing protection all the time while allowing end loading of a trailer with
the unit in a below dock position. Unlike others, end loading is still achievable with
the lip in a safety position. Suitably best for applications such as manufacturing,
heavy industrial applications, and high volume warehousing and distribution
applications, where working environments need speed at the same time providing
full-time protection.

Safety Measured
The barrier lip is engineered for the safety of the dockworkers and lift trucks, its full
dock width and 5” to 7” above the cross traffic position, provides a wider space and
protection, not to roll-off over the loading dock.

Engineered Hydraulics
McGuire Barrier Lip is revolutionized with hydraulic design, such that when used with
the H or HP Series, a hydraulic main cylinder is used to raise the platform and a
separate lip cylinder is used to control the Barrier Lip. The hydraulic pump,
manifold and translucent reservoirs are an integral assembly with hoses routed
under the platform away from debris. Suitably, for applications such as
manufacturing, food, retail, warehousing and distribution, where loading and loading
safety are top priorities.
