VL Vertical Dock Leveler
Companies lose an average of one ton of refrigerated air per dock door per year when they use pit levelers instead of vertical dock levelers. The Automated Door Systems VL dock leveler helps preserve internal temperatures, lowering cooling costs and preventing product spoilage. When not in use, the VL dock leveler is parked in the upright position, allowing the overhead door to close completely and prevent unauthorized access to the building.
