Lift and Level Your Load

Leveling Systems

It may look like something from Back to the Future, but imagine your truck raising and lowering to the heights of different loading docks for the ultimate ease in loading and unloading. Not only is this technology now available, but also it has been in the making since 1990, when Equalizer Systems was founded.

According to the company’s web site, Equalizer Systems, located in Elkhart, Indiana, provides electric and hydraulic lifting and leveling equipment. Though it was founded just eighteen years ago, the company has grown significantly due to the quality and innovative features of their products. Though the company manufactures lifting gear for a variety of vehicles, its commercial vehicle lifting gear is of the utmost practicality, making it much easier for truckers to load and unload their vehicles.

Using a 12-volt hydraulic pump, truckers can control each leg of the leveling system to their own specifications. This means they can insure that their vehicle is level even if the ground isn’t. For truckers who carry fragile items, this system can be important to the happiness of your customer. In addition, the mechanism allows truckers to raise and lower their vehicle in order to remain level with trucking docks. This can help increase loader safety, as well as prevent incidents of damage while loading and unloading the truck.

Not only is the system an innovative necessity for the trucker who wants to insure the ultimate safety for his or her cargo, but it is also made with state-of-the-art parts to avoid damage. The legs are manufactured using tube-in-tube construction, which absorbs movement to protect the cylinder. The 12-volt hydraulic pump is encased in a steel equipment box to avoid damage, and a mechanical lock up device creates an additional safety mechanism, providing additional support. In the unforeseen event that damage does occur, the company will provide truckers with customer support. Systems are available for trucks up to 70,000 pounds.

In addition to providing truckers with the ability to load and unload their trucks with greater ease, as well as the ability to keep their cargo level on an unleveled surface, the lift system is easy to operate from inside the cab. By using a full control panel system, truckers simply press a series of easy-to-navigate buttons in order to activate the pump.

For truckers who want to insure the safety of their cargo, the Equalizer Systems lifting gear is a perfect addition to the technologically advanced truck. Practical, easy to use, well designed and easy to locate dealers, the mechanism is sure to be a hit with most truckers.
