Optimize your dock efficiency and safety by loading and unloading trailers above the building floor level. This minimizes interferences by the bumpers and building face. It reduces product
damage and allows forklift drivers to have a better grade in and out of trailers. The revolutionary Z-Deck trailer lift raises trailer tires with a sloped deck that minimizes the angle of the lifting surface to keep the trailers from rolling away under their own weight. Designed to work with wall mounted vehicle restraints, the Z-Deck trailer lift matches the stroke of the lift cylinders to the vertical travel of a wall mounted restraint to increase the overall safety of the dock system.

Increase Productivity
Eliminate floor interference
by safety lifting trailer beds
above dock level for full,
unobstructed loading
operations. |
• |
Low-Profile Design
2” Rear section slopes
upwards to 8” at apex.
No need for a costly
in-ground pit. |
| • |
Maximize Safety
The unique Z-shaped
deck profile keeps tires
on the deck and minimizes
the slope the tires are
supported by. Profile keeps
tires angled towards dock
to level at maximum raise. |
• |
Simple Design
Robust construction
and dual lifting cylinders
provide reliability
and safety. |
| • |
Full-width Trailer Access
Elevate trailers above floor
level to service wider
trucks with full-width loads. |
• |
Improved Trailer Alignment
Integral Wheel Guides
center trailer
on docks,
minimizing product and
door damage. |

“Ski-Slope”- the hinging action of a typical truck leveler pivots the front of the ramp and raises
the rear causing a negative angle in relation to the dock. The Z-Deck Truck Leveler by Leum
Engineering, Inc. is the only truck leveler on the market that can solve this very basic, yet
dangerous condition. The mid-level profile slopes back toward the dock when stored creating a
much safer condition. Due to the shock loads caused by forklift operations, a vehicle restraint is
always safe practice.
The Z-profile also increases the lift of axles that are further away from the dock face with a shorter
lifting platform.
Unique “high-lift” hinges at the front of the deck arc towards the dock creating a net vertical lift,
minimizing the push away from the dock and again making the dock interface safer.
The integral wheel guides center the trailer to optimize the door openings and minimize product
damage. Using the lifting function to position the trailer bed above dock levels
gives the operator
full width access to the load and minimize product damage and
increase productivity.

Construction
The unit is constructed
out of structural carbon
steel consisting of 1/4”
thick deckplate and
structural HSS tube sides.
The center tire surface is
level from side to side to
minimize interference with
