The VH Series is designed, engineered and constructed using the heaviest structural steel support members for the most demanding dock conditions, it uses a proprietary hydraulic system that provides the greatest overall service range without sacrificing safety or ergonomics, and it is offered by the company that invented the hydraulic dock leveler and backs it by the longest standard warranty in the industry.

Monroe Warehouse & Logistics® provides it’s customers with complete warehousing, transport logistics and packaging services. They utilize clamp trucks to move extremely heavy rolls of paper, into and out if it’s facility. This is potentially a very dangerous task since the clamp truck carries 80-90% of its load out in front of the truck.

Prior to choosing a hydraulic leveler from Poweramp, Monroe Warehouse used 50,000# CIR mechanical levelers, as well as, the air-powered (air-bag type) levelers. Due to the physical limitations of the lifting mechanisms in both of these type levelers and the frequency of “stumpout”, they found these other levelers to be rather inefficient. In addition, the mechanical holddown assemblies, mechanical lips, springs and shocks had to be maintained constantly in order to perform under their particularly demanding conditions.

Monroe Warehouse turned to Poweramp, the hydraulic pioneer, to solve their problem. MWH is now using the Poweramp VH Series Fully Hydraulic Dock Leveler in the 60,000-pound capacity. By doing so, Monroe Warehouse has chosen the most structurally superior equipment available. This unit provides 8” I beams and structural cross members. This hydraulic dock leveler provided the strength and structure to surpass the demands of the Monroe Warehouse & Logistics environment. The issues causing downtime before; structural failure, maintenance intensive designs, and loss of service range have all been negated by the addition of the hydraulic dock levelers. In turning to hydraulic levelers they have taken a stand for safety in the workplace at the loading dock. The patented fluid logic hydraulic system has a built-in tamper-proof safety stop unique to Poweramp products, as well as, a lock-out/tag-out safety strut for service or pit cleanout that’s standard on the VH model.
