Abstract

A dock leveler includes a frame. A deck plate is rotationally coupled to the frame at a deck hinge. A lip plate defines a lip plate lower surface and an edge. A lip hinge is coupled to the lip plate and a connection plate to provide relative pivotal movement of the lip plate and the deck plate. The connection plate is positioned below the deck plate. A support link extends from the lip plate to the connection plate. The support link is rotationally operable with respect to the lip plate and slidably operable with respect to the connection plate.
