The utility model relates to equipment for a coaling process in the field of coking, and in particular relates to a leveling bar for a coke oven. The leveling bar comprises an end head and two steel plates which are arranged in parallel, wherein a plurality of support plates are fixed between the two steel plates; and the end head is provided with a leveling reverse turning bed. The leveling bar provided by the utility model is simple in structure; and when the leveling bar is used, the leveling reverse turning bed downwardly presses coal, thus the coal in a carbonization chamber is compacted, the storage amount of the coal in the carbonization chamber is increased, the packing density of the coal material is improved, the yield of coke foam is reduced, and the mechanical strength of coke is improved.
