The main dock leveler types are mechanical, hydraulic and air-powered, plus edge-of-dock and vertical-storing versions. Hydraulic units are the most common in modern warehouses because operation is smooth and low effort.
Mechanical levelers are simpler and cost less but need more physical effort. Edge-of-dock units suit smaller loading volumes and existing docks. Vertical-storing units help seal the dock when idle. Explore dock levelers to compare types for your operation.
