L'invention concerne un niveleur de quai (12,66) destiné à un quai de chargement de camions qui comprend un système d'éclairage (16,62) monté sur le pont (18,64) du niveleur. Ce système d'éclairage peut être utilisé pour éclairer l'intérieur d'une remorque (10), pour éclairer le pont du niveleur de quai, et/ou pour produire un signal d'avertissement qui alerte les piétons alentours et d'autres personnes se trouvant dans la zone que le quai de chargement est en activité.
