Talking about capacity, I’ve heard the terms STATIC, ROLLOVER and DYNAMIC being used. Which rating should influence my Dock Leveler selection?
Static and rollover refer to the amount of weight that a Dock Leveler can safely support, either stacked on the deck or crossing over it, while in the stored position. Dynamic capacity refers to the total force of a rolling load that a Dock Leveler can safely support while in the extended or service position. This dynamic rating should be used when selecting your Dock Leveler, since it is the only method that considers true, live working conditions.
