This spring-operated model runs without electricity. The operator pulls a release handle to activate the platform, and gravity lowers the extended lip onto the trailer bed. Choose the TS Series for moderate traffic volumes.
Height gaps between docks and trailers slow your crew down. Workers strain to push loads over uneven transitions, risking injury or tipping pallets. Edge-of-dock levelers solve these problems. They offer a cost-effective and convenient alternative to conventional pit levelers.
Texas Overhead Door is your loading dock’s best friend. We stock high-quality levelling equipment that keeps loads moving and teams safe. Discover the simpler way to streamline operations.
We carry edge levelers from DLM, an industry leader with over 60 years of manufacturing expertise. In fact, DLM invented the edge-of-dock leveler!
Our range of hydraulic and mechanical dock levelers includes:
This spring-operated model runs without electricity. The operator pulls a release handle to activate the platform, and gravity lowers the extended lip onto the trailer bed. Choose the TS Series for moderate traffic volumes.
The NL features DLM’s exclusive NeverLift® technology. It uses a spring-lift mechanism to extend the lip automatically as the platform raises. Operators save time and effort on manual operation with every cycle.
Hydraulic cylinders control both platform and lip movement in the HED series. Push-button operation from a wall-mounted NEMA 4 control panel removes the physical work. The system handles 20,000 to 35,000-pound capacities across various deck widths.
This powerful hydraulic leveler suits high-volume operations.
This hybrid combines a hydraulic platform lift with a mechanical NeverLift® lip extension. You get push-button convenience for the deck while the proven mechanical system handles the lip. A unique pin-removal feature allows manual operation during power outages. Your team can keep working even when electrical issues arise.
These compact units mount above the dock surface rather than at the edge. Top-of-dock designs suit facilities with limited face mounting space or specific trailer configurations. They bridge the gap while preserving dock edge accessibility.
For decades, Texas Overhead Door has helped make loading docks safer across Texas and Oklahoma. Here’s what we bring to the table:
Pit levelers sit flush with your dock floor in a recessed opening. They handle wider height ranges but require cutting into concrete and days of construction work. Dock edge models mount directly to the dock face instead. Installation takes hours instead of days, costs less up front and performs well in facilities with consistent trailer heights.
Edge-of-dock levelers are ideal when you work with standardized fleets or want quality equipment that fits your budget.
We’re building relationships with our clients, not just selling a product. With that goal in mind, we make sure that everything we install is done so with the highest quality product and the closest attention to detail. Every garage door project we complete is done with a commitment to excellence.
