How to Identify the Dock Leveler Parts You Need - DDM Garage Doors Blog

Since there have been about twenty dock leveler manufacturers over the decades, and since most of them use unique parts, it is best to begin by identifying the manufacturer of the leveler.

Usually, there is a label to identify the manufacturer and possibly the model.

Sometimes the label is on the front of the frame, as we see with the picture of the Serco dock leveler below.

Sometimes the label is along the side of the dock leveler, as we see on this McGuire leveler.

Under some levelers, you can find a tube welded underneath the deck with a manual rolled up in it. There might also be parts with the manufacturer’s name under the deck.

If you can’t identify the dock leveler manufacturer, you can take pictures of the parts you need. Then, please email them to us using the email on our contact page.

Another way to identify the dock leveler parts you need is to browse the images on the different pages linked to our Dock Leveler Parts index page.
