Top-of-Ground Dock Lifts

Series 6000 top of ground dock lifts are installed on top of a concrete pad. These models can’t be installed in pits because their low lowered height does not permit the addition of the 8" bevel toe guards required by OSHA for pit mounted lifts. Platform sizes range from 6’ x 8’ to 6’ x 12’. Capacities range from 5,000 to 12,000 lbs. Models 6100 and 6150 have hinged approach ramps with built in wheel chocks to prevent loads from rolling off the raised platform while models 6200 and 6300 have fixed approach ramps. Model 6150 has its power unit built right onto the platform while the other models have remote power units.
