The patented Serco Versa Series Levelers are the only dock levelers with the flexibility to handle conventional loads as well as high-cube (low boy) below-dock loading at the same dock position.
With the popularity of air-ride suspensions, high capacity "low boy" trailers and the increasing use of low-profile tires, truck bed heights can be extended beyond the 12" reach of most conventional levelers, making service of these trailers difficult or impossible.
And with trailer widths averaging up to 8' 6", conventional 7' 0" wide levelers leave little or no room for forklift maneuvering. When freight handlers attempt to "cube out" the trailer, loads are often impossible to end-load without the use of dedicated docks or expensive truck-leveling devices.

The Versa Series Levelers provide 9' wide unobstructed access for extra-wide below dock loads.

SafeTFrame™

SafeTFrame™  

N/A For decades all dock levelers installed in a concrete pit have required an installer to place and weld steel shim under the rear frame in order to level the device and provide long-term support. This conventional process can lead to install errors as installers are often working under the dock leveler in a cramped environment and may not use the correct size shim and/or weld the shim properly.
The result... the dock leveler can suffer structural fatigue which may lead to expensive repair or replacement.

SafeTFrame™ Advantages
  • Greater structural strength & durability
  • Eliminates installation issues common with conventional dock levelers
  • Ensures level transition from warehouse floor to dock leveler
  • Eliminates premature structural fatigue due to improperly shimmed / installed dock leveler

Hydra Max® Control Lip System

N/A Hydra Max improves dock safety, reduces maintenance and increases the working life of the leveler by combining the benefits of a gravity-fall lip and power-in lip control using a double-acting cylinder that ensures the leveler completes its proper functions in all operating cycles.

Master Control Panel™

N/A Serco hydraulic dock leveler functions are controlled through a push-button control panel or as a component on a Master Control Panel™. All leveler operations can be interlocked with other dock functions such as vehicle restraints, dock doors and security systems.

A mushroom-style stop button is available as standard equipment on some hydraulic dock leveler control panels and on the Master Control Panel. In the event of an emergency or displaced cargo which fouls the working area, the operator simply pushes the button to freeze the leveler in any part of its cycle and interrupts the power to all other control panel functions. To restore, the operator simply pulls the button out to proceed with the loading/ unloading operation.

Hydraulically Powered Bumpers

N/A The Versa Dock Series of levelers incorporates all the proven features of Serco’s hydraulic dock levelers with the addition of hydraulically positioned steel faced bumpers.
The powered dock bumpers and available deck widths up to 9’ give true unrestricted access to the widest truck trailers. The hydraulically powered bumpers provide more reliability and control than spring loaded or "canister" style bumper assemblies.
