Typically, a Dock Hoist will cost 1/3 the price of a fork lift truck and will have a quick and favorable payback when compared to the long-term cost associated with operating a forklift and manually loading / off-loading a trailer. The LoMasterâ„¢ Stationary Dock Hoist will also greatly reduce handling costs, cargo damage and employee injury common to vertical transfer operations.
Available in rated capacities of 5,000 to 20,000 lb (2,267 to 9,072 kg)
The LoMasterâ„¢ Dock Hoist DL Series is engineered to increase efficiency and safety in loading / unloading trucks and trailers. These versatile units can be mounted in a pit or anchored to a concrete pad, wherever the site requires.
A full-length deck beam ensures maximum support, and solid plate steel legs support maximum rigidity. The precision safety velocity fuses on the hydraulic cylinders limit platform free-fall. Each Dock Hoist comes equipped with handrails, a 4" (102 mm) kick plate, and a barrier chain across each end.
