1. Once the trailer is positioned and the dock door is raised, the dock worker simply steps on the release pedal, gently pushes the deck forward and LoadHog descends slowly into the trailer until the lip is resting on the trailer bed.

2. When the dock bridge is lowered to the operating range, a security latch engages the spring counterbalance mechanism to ensure that the bridge remains downward biased. LoadHog is now ready for loading or unloading.

3. Once loading or unloading is complete, the dock worker pivots the operating handle and raises the deck to its stored and locked position. LoadHog only requires approximately 38 lbs. of lifting force to store.
