Electrical specifications

Our hydraulic conversion kits are designed to meet your specific electrical needs:

• Single-phased units: Typically draws 12 to 15 amps, so we recommend a dedicated 20-amp circuit
• 115 and 208/230 volt single-phase motor starters: No reset overload, thermally protected motor
• Single-phase 208-volt units: Typically draws 10 to 12 amps
• Three-phase motor starters: Features manual overload reset
• Three-phased 208-volt units: Typically draws 5.5 amps
• Three-phased 460-volt units: Typically draws 2.5 amps
• Three-phased 575-volt units: Typically draws 2 amps

Benefits of hydraulic conversion

1. Reliability - Eliminate the wear and tear associated with mechanical restraints, reducing downtime for repairs.

2. Security - Enjoy easier control and higher degree of safety for employees with wall-mounted push-button operation

3. Low noise level - Experience smooth, quiet operation at the touch of a button, contributing to a more pleasant working environment.

4. Reducing operating costs - Lower maintenance requirements and operating costs compared to mechanical dock levelers.
