Operational Simplicity
- Operator steps on release pedal and gently pushes forward.
- Lip is easily repositioned for end-loading using the operating handle.
- Requires only approximately 38 lbs. of lifting force to store.
- Small footprint allows extra room for staged product and easy access for floor cleaning & routine maintenance.
- Has fewer parts and requires minimal lubrication at only two points for superior cost of ownership.
- Operates from a standing position - No bending over required.
Improves Loss Prevention
- LoadHog mounts to the surface of the warehouse floor and stores inside, allowing the door to close tight against the floor, and thus minimizing the threat of pilferage.
Conventional Cost of Ownership
Mechanical dock levelers, the most common dock solution in retail applications, require construction of a recessed concrete pit. Construction costs combined with the price of the dock leveler and required maintenance and service over five years make mechanicals a high-priced alternative.
Frequency of Decline Approaches
Due to limited space at some retail store locations, the dock is designed with a declined approach. Often that decline is between 5% and 8% and requires modifications to building wall and dock equipment in order to prevent damage or premature product fatigue. LoadHog’s small footprint and 18” bumper block projection may eliminate need for expensive building modifications.
