Reliable Loading Dock Solutions
Loading docks play a critical role in shipping, storage, and logistics. The right equipment speeds operations, allowing you to process more goods in less time with fewer workers, while also preventing slips, falls, and collisions that could not only harm your business, but also endanger your staff.
- Type of building you own
- Volume of traffic you receive
- Total weight of loads you handle
- Space available for the truck
- Slope approaches to the door
- Variety of trailers you interact with
- Dock height compared to trailer bed height
Our experts help you accommodate a wider range of cargo, hand trucks, and vehicles. We ensure the integrity of your equipment and infrastructure, maintaining and upgrading it as necessary to be sure the dock area adheres to safety and industry standards – for greater performance and longevity.
Robust Dock Equipment
For companies whose operations depend on transportation of goods, the importance of loading docks and equipment cannot be overstated. To make certain your equipment is suited to the task, we provide a diverse selection of durable, resilient, and ergonomic docking systems, to help you adapt to different loading conditions.
Vehicle Restraints
Vehicle and trailer restraints bolt to dock faces and/or the ground, providing a secure force that minimizes risk of vehicles moving or shifting. We offer sturdy, low-profile automatic and manual restraints that are easy to install and enhance dock safety.
Loading Dock Shelters and Seals
Shelters and dock seals protect workers and vehicles. They’re critical for businesses that require a secure, temperature-controlled environment in order to comply with government regulations, such as the ones surrounding food safety. They also block out pests and inclement weather, which could damage or contaminate shipments.
Dock Accessories
Besides reducing the risk of work injuries, safety equipment protects trucks and buildings from damage. The right equipment makes transitions smoother as well, enabling you to avoid bottlenecks and improve turnaround. This includes:
Dock Bumpers
Line the edge of the loading bay in order to absorb and minimize damage as trucks back into your warehouse.
Safety Barriers
Segregates pedestrian and truck traffic, preventing people or forklifts from falling off unguarded edges.
Stop and Go Lights
Establishes a clear line of communication between truck drivers and dock personnel, notifying them when it’s safe to proceed.
Loading Dock Levelers
Loading dock levelers cover the gap between the truck bed and your facility, enabling fast and safe loading and unloading. Choose between:
- Mechanical Dock Levelers
- Hydraulic Dock Levelers
- Air-Powered Dock Levelers
- Edge of Dock Levelers
To make sure your systems are suitable for use, our technicians provide expert installation and maintenance. Our service teams ensure all parts function correctly, so your equipment continues to provide a stable platform for workers, forklifts, and pallet jacks.
