Operation
The HED is controlled remotely from a wall mounted control panel. The platform is raised when the raise push button on the control panel is depressed and held. When the fully yieldable lip extends the button is released allowing the extended lip and platform to lower onto the trailer bed at either above or below dock position. Upon trailer departure the lip automatically restores itself to the stored position. The unit can also be restored to the stored position with at trailer at the dock. In-use and store positions are achieved without manual operation. Recommended working range of +/-3” and a maximum operating range of +/-5” above and below dock level. Standard lip is 15”. (17” lip available for refrigerated trailers) The HED deck and lip move up and down under hydraulic pressure.
