Hot Dipped Galvanized units have a zinc coating that bonds with the metal creating a barrier that is a part of or an extension of the metal itself. This process provides a rugged, durable unit and extends the life of the product significantly.

When asked why someone would Hot Dip Galvanize a Leveler, PIONEER’s Vice President of Sales & Marketing, Dan Jones, said, “The advantages of Hot Dip Galvanizing are numerous. The overall life of the unit can be extended while at the same time significantly reducing rust and corrosion. Also of note, when used in galvanizing, zinc is a healthy metal and is completely recyclable. This application is ideal for coastal areas, food service industries and chemical/pharmaceutical-type environments. Any company with a dock in high weather or chemical exposure situations should make this investment. Whether it’s an edge-of-dock, portable board or pit leveler, Hot Dip Galvanizing can be an effective solution”.
