Choosing between electric precision and manual reliability? Both Geajie edge-of-dock (EOD) levelers are designed for pitless installations, but here’s a tailored comparison for retrofit scenarios:

Geajie Electric Edge of Dock Leveler: Ideal for High-Throughput and Automated Facilities Powered by a compact hydraulic pump (standard electrical connection required), it raises and lowers the lip in seconds via push-button control. Perfect for e-commerce fulfillment centers handling 100+ loads per day.

• Pro tip: Regular lubrication points extend service intervals significantly.
• Load example: Easily handles up to 20,000 lbs with automatic leveling to accommodate uneven truck beds.

Geajie Manual Edge of Dock Leveler: Perfect for Budget-Conscious and Low-Maintenance Operations Lever-operated with no electricity needed, it excels in intermittent-use environments such as seasonal storage facilities. Installation is simply bolting to the dock face.

• Pro tip: Add grease fittings for maintenance only every few years – outperforming many competitors in longevity.
• Load example: Securely manages up to 15,000 lbs with a simple flip-up lip that locks firmly in place.

Step-by-Step Guide: Pitless Installation Process

1. Site survey: Measure dock height variation (target ±6 inches) and truck bed gaps – focus on edge alignment for pitless setups.
2. Preparation: Clean the dock face and use the supplied template for accurate bolt placement (tools needed: impact wrench and level).
3. Securing & testing: Fasten with 1/2-inch anchors and simulate loading to confirm stability. Total professional installation time: 2-4 hours.
4. Commissioning: Train staff on lip extension – safety first with integrated bumpers.

This process can reduce overall installation costs by up to 40% compared to traditional pit-style solutions. See our retrofit case studies for visual examples.
