A lip guiding mechanism is disclosed for use with a dock leveler having a deck which is pivotally movable with respect to a loading dock, a lip which is pivotally attached to a front of the deck, and a lip keeper which is positioned to receive the lip when the deck is in a cross-traffic position and the lip is in a pendant position. In use, the lip guiding mechanism selectively deflects the lip of the dock leveler away from the lip keeper to facilitate below dock level end-loading conditions. The lip guiding mechanism includes a lip guide member with a camming surface. The lip guide member is disposable adjacent to the loading dock and is movable between a stored position, wherein the camming surface is positioned for clearance from the lip of the dock leveler, and an activated position, wherein the camming surface is positioned for engagement by the lip of the dock leveler. When the lip guide member is in the activated position. the camming surface deflects the lip of the dock leveler away from the lip keeper of the dock leveler to permit the deck to be lowered into a below dock level position. The lip guiding mechanism is also provided with an actuator for selectively moving the lip guide member between the stored and activated positions.
