Key Features
- Pull the release chain and the heavy-duty lift springs raise the deck; the lip extends smoothly to the locked position, then you walk the deck down to the truck bed
- Ratchet hold-down with eight cadmium-plated teeth holds the deck securely throughout the operating range, with automatic float compensation and a pressure relief system that adjusts to changes in trailer bed height
- Yieldable lip safely collapses if struck while extended
- Two-stage mechanical fall-safe legs limit platform free-fall if a truck leaves early, and prevent front curb angle damage
- One-piece dock strut supports both deck and lip for safe under-deck maintenance and inspection
- Deck flexes up to 4″ (102 mm) under load for full-width lip contact; the fixed rear hinge stays flush with the floor to eliminate pinch points
- Powder-coat finish as standard
