HLS-2 Dock Leveler Construction
Reliable, sturdy, and flexible design
- Strongly Constructed Dock Leveler Platform
The S235 steel platform is made of a single piece, up to a 6' x 10' size. The design of the reinforcement beams prevent deformation (lane grooves) and exceed ANSI-MH-30-1-2022 standards. The standard platform thickness on hinged lip dock levelers is 0.25”. - Sturdy Lip
Our lip is made from a single piece of ½” S355 tread-plated steel. The hinges we use are constructed from S420 steel grade, a high-strength weldable steel designed to endure high levels of strain in your loading area. - Made to Withstand Tough Environments
The dock leveler has a standard of 35,000 lbs (rated load according to ANSI-MH-30-1-2022). The HLS-2 hinged lip dock leveler is available for higher rated load capacities. The dock leveler is rated for a temperature range of 14 to +122°F in the area around the hydraulic system. - Reliable Double Cylinder Hydraulic System
The dock leveler's balanced and reliable operation is ensured by two main cylinders, which also contribute to its overall safety. In the event of an emergency stop, the platform is prevented from tilting. Additionally, optional HLS-2 dock levelers can be equipped with an oil drain pan.

Hinged Lip
The HLS-2 hinged lip is made of running plate from a single piece. The lip is made of high strength S355 steel and fulfills all requirements with a thickness of 1/2” tread plate.
Lip Lengths
The lip has a standard length of 16 in, and an optional length of 18 in. When selecting, please note that the protruding lip hinge reduces the possible bridging by approx. 3 in. We also offer an effective 20” reach lip solution when required.
Hydraulic Leveler Control Boxes
Simplicity and Convenience for Your Loading Systems
DLC-A and DLC-S Controllers
Basic and Advanced Control Box Options
The Hörmann controllers are designed to be clear and simple. The hinged lip dock levelers operate using a press-and-hold actuation. When the raise button is pressed, the platform will lift until it reaches the maximum height. At that point, the lip will automatically extend. Once the raise button is released, the platform will descend.
Additional Features (DLC-A Control Box)
- Status Indicators Colored indicators (Green and Red) display the status of the system.
- Automatic Return Platform automatically returns to home position after activation (single pulse activation).
- Emergency Stop Motor control signal locked; no activation of system is allowed until the signal is disengaged.
