Abstract: To permit below-dock level end-loading operations and to limit accident al freefalling of a dock leveler's deck, a dock leveler includes a unique suppo rt mechanism that employs one or more safety legs with an integral or operatively connected li p deflector. The support mechanism can be selectively moved to a deck-supporting position for freefall protection or moved to a lip-deflecting position for below dock level end- loading operations. In the deck-supporting position, the safety leg prevents the deck from falli ng an unsafe distance. In the lip-deflecting position, the lip deflector guides the descending motion of the dock leveler's lip extension plate so that the lip, while hanging pendant, c an bypass and descend below a set of lip keepers.
