M-Series Loading Dock Lifts
Our M-Series loading dock lifts are specifically designed for use with non-powered transport devices such as two-wheel dollies, hand carts, or hand pallet trucks—making them a versatile and cost-effective solution.
With capacities ranging from 5,000 to 8,000 lbs. and platform sizes from 6′ x 8′ to 8′ x 10′, these lifts can accommodate a variety of loads. The 59″ vertical travel allows for easy access to truck beds and docks of different heights.
The DDL5-59 and DDL6-59 models feature Southworth’s Dura-Dock construction and galvanized base and legs, providing maximum corrosion resistance. These lifts can be either pit-mounted or pad-mounted to suit your specific installation requirements.
