I’ve been working in the garage door business for over 36 years. It wasn’t until a few years ago that one of my employees explained to me how mechanical dock levelers work. It’s taken many months, many videos, many graphics, and a lot of animation, but in early July, we expect to be posting the completed video on YouTube so professional door technicians and other tradesmen can understand how they work.
