FA-1600 Fully Automatic

The Rite-Hite, truck-activated, fully automatic mechanical dock leveler can be operated without a dock attendant. It has the fewest moving parts and requires less maintenance than any other mechanical dock leveler, helping to increase efficiency through reduced personnel requirements and maintenance costs, while extending the life of the product.

Safe-T strut bar

Rite-Hite's Safe-T-Strut™ system features a central structure running through the ledge that provides heavy-duty support for the leveler and flange throughout the operating range, helping to prevent dock leveler sagging during maintenance operations and protect personnel working underneath. It is certified to withstand forklift impacts up to 6.4 km/h and helps with compliance with OSHA regulations for logging and labeling.

The FA Mechanical Dock Leveler is designed to automate dock operations without the need for a power supply or a dedicated operator. Its truck-activated system allows the leveler to automatically position itself when the vehicle backs up to the dock, ensuring a quick and safe set-up.

With its design with a minimal number of moving parts, this leveller offers high reliability and low maintenance costs, making it an ideal solution for demanding industrial environments or sites with low personnel.

Its robust structure, composed of a one-piece platform, is designed to support heavy loads and withstand the frequent impacts of trucks and handling equipment. In addition, built-in safety features, such as automatic shut-offs, help prevent free falls and protect operators during loading operations.

Efficient operation

Rite-Hite FA mechanical automatic dock levellers help increase the efficiency of facilities that require a dockside position to handle occasional loads of higher capacity with reduced staff.

  • Truck activation allows the leveler to be set up without the presence of a dock attendant. When the truck backs into position, the interaction with the leveler bumpers pushes them backwards. The leveller platform then lifts up and places the fixed ledge in the trailer bed.
  • Maintenance is minimal due to the reduced number of moving parts; the weakest of all Rite-Hite mechanical levellers.
  • The mechanical automatic leveller FA does not require any power supply.
  • Existing AM customers benefit from this leveler in a high-load-capacity, low-traffic dock location.
Security and design

The FA Mechanical Automatic Dock Leveler is designed to withstand the most demanding operating conditions, with the safety of employees, equipment and goods remaining its top priority.

  • Its robust design includes a one-piece platform capable of withstanding extremely heavy loads and truck shocks during daily use.
  • The automatic safety stop ensures the safety of personnel during loading and unloading operations by preventing free fall from the platform. The FA Mechanical Safe-T-Strut™ safety cylinder (optional) is available via the Safe-T-Strut™ universal kit. This cylinder enhances safety during maintenance operations.
  • The (optional) stops protect the sectional door by limiting its travel when it is closed, especially in the event of a collision with the stop frame when reversing with a truck.
