The CentraAir (CA) Dock Leveler from McGuire is an air-powered leveler that operates off of existing plant air or a dedicated compressor. Operation of the leveler is controlled by a pneumatic or electric push-button.
Many distribution centers or warehouses that want to upgrade from mechanical to automatic levelers find that the cost can often prohibit them from doing so.
The unique advantage of McGuire’s CentraAir leveler is that it’s fully powered, but isn’t as expensive as hydraulic levelers and doesn’t require the added expenses of electrical installation in each dock pit. If pneumatic controls are used, the CA doesn’t even require any added electrical at each unit, therefore having very minimal effect on the electrical footprint of the facility.
Furthermore, the CentraAir uses an automotive-grade air bellows system to raise and lower the leveler. This steel-belted rubber component is much more durable than standard air bags used with other air-powered levelers. Plus the small size of the bellows systems, and use of compressed air, makes the unit easy to clean and perfect for wash down or wet environments.
McGuire has already installed many CentraAir levelers around the US and has had clients experience the convenience and cost savings the CA has to offer. Multiple sizes and capacities are available.
The McGuire® CentraAir® (CA) air-powered dock leveler incorporates the use of existing plant air or dedicated compresser and an industrial automotive-grade air bellows system to raise and lower the platform. It’s operated with “push button” activation and requires no electricity in the pit, making the unit perfect for wash down applications or wet environments.
The CA Air-Powered Leveler is an environmentally friendly addition to any material handling operation and will have minimal effect on the building’s electrical footprint. This leveler is available in a wide range of sizes and capacities and can be modified for special applications.
The CentraAir Leveler comes in 6’, 6’6” & 7’ standard widths and 6’, 8’ & 10’ standard lengths. Standard capacities are 25K, 30K, 35K, 40K, 45K and 55K CIR (Comparative Industry Rating). Patent US 8, 627, 529
Utilizes the same lift technology as air ride suspension trailers to raise the leveler and extend the lip.
McGuire is the only dock leveler manufacturer that employs a full width rear hinge mounted in compresssion, using a 1” diameter solid steel rod. So indestructable, it carries a lifetime warranty.
While some manufacturers use flat stock or other light duty material, McGuire uses 4” structural “C” channel on all pit levelers.
Very reliable and low maintenance air valve system controls the flow of air to inflate the bellows and then lower the leveler.
