ABSTRACT:
A dockboard having an improved lip lifting mechanism. The dockboard includes a ramp hinged at its rear edge to a loading dock, and the ramp is adapted to be moved from a generally horizontal cross traffic position to an upwardly inclined position by a counterbalancing spring assembly. A lip is hinged to the front edge of the ramp and can be pivoted from a pendant, downwardly hanging, position to a partially extended position just short of its fully extended position by a lip lifting mechanism which is actuated as a consequence of the ramp moving downwardly from the inclined position toward the cross traffic position.
