Abstract: A leveler assembly is provided for mounting within a pit which is normally formed in a loading dock. The pit includes a base recessed a substantial distance below the platform surface of the dock, a rear wall, an open top and an open front side. The assembly includes a frame anchored within the pit adjacent the base thereof. The frame includes a front section disposed adjacent the open front side of the pit and recessed a substantial distance from the open top. The frame also includes a rear section having a top portion disposed adjacent to but beneath the pit open top. Hingedly connected to the rear section top portion is a loading bearing deck member which is adapted to normally assume a neutral position, wherein the exposed surface thereof is substantially coplanar with the dock platform surface. Adjustably connected to the underside of the deck member at a location spaced rearwardly a substantial distance from the front edge of the deck member is a first fluid pressure-responsive telescoping component.
