Easy to operate and virtually maintenance-free, hydraulic levelers typically have the lowest lifetime ownership cost.
A great fit for high-traffic docks.
A great alternative to hydraulic levelers. With minimal moving parts and no fluid to manage, they keep maintenance and lifetime costs low.
Reliable, low-upkeep performance.
Strong, durable, and economical. Mechanical levelers need no power and are operated with a pull chain, making them a budget-friendly choice for many docks.
Dock levelers carry heavy loads and forklift traffic every day. A makeshift fix or untrained repair can put workers at risk and lead to unexpected downtime. When a dock goes down, loading and unloading stops, and lost productivity often costs far more than doing it right the first time.
A trained OGD® specialist will recommend the right leveler for your loads, install or repair it safely, inspect related dock components, and test the full system before leaving. Every job includes a parts and labor warranty and clear communication throughout the process.
Every OGD® specialist is trained on hydraulic, air-powered, and mechanical dock equipment – and trained to communicate clearly. They’ll walk you through every step before, during, and after the work.
You get a clear, written quote before any work begins, and every job is backed by our parts and labor warranty. No hidden fees, no surprises.
Dock leveler pricing depends on the type you need (hydraulic, air-powered, or mechanical), the size and capacity, site conditions, and installation. Because every dock is different, OGD® provides a free on-site assessment and a written quote before any work begins, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Common signs include a leveler that won’t raise or hold position, slow or jerky movement, hydraulic leaks, loud grinding or banging, or visible rust and bent metal. Often a repair is enough, but older or heavily worn equipment may be more cost-effective to replace. An OGD® specialist can inspect it and walk you through your options.
OGD® offers a full range: hydraulic, air-powered, and mechanical pit-style levelers, plus specialty options like vertical storing levelers, edge-of-dock levelers, dock lifts, and dock plates. We help you match the right equipment to your trucks, loads, and facility needs.
As a general guide, dock levelers should be inspected roughly every 90 days to keep them operating safely. High-traffic facilities may benefit from more frequent checks. OGD® offers planned maintenance programs that catch small issues before they become costly downtime.
It varies by type, usage, and upkeep. As a general guide, mechanical dock levelers often last around 5 to 7 years, while hydraulic units can last longer with regular maintenance. High-traffic docks and heavy loads can shorten that lifespan, so routine service helps you get the most out of your equipment.
Hydraulic levelers are fully automatic, easy to use, and low-maintenance, making them ideal for busy docks. Air-powered levelers are semi-automatic with few moving parts and no fluid to manage. Mechanical levelers are operated by hand with a pull chain, need no power, and are the most economical. An OGD® specialist can help you weigh upfront cost against long-term operation.
Yes. A down dock can bring shipping and receiving to a halt, so OGD® offers emergency repair service to get your operation moving again as quickly as possible. Call us and we’ll dispatch a specialist to assess the issue.
Yes. OGD® provides full sales, installation, and service for dock levelers, and our team can manage everything from a single-leveler replacement to large new-construction dock projects. Every job is backed by our parts and labor warranty.
