Dock Equipment We Offer
Dock Levelers
Dock levelers create a smooth transition between the dock and the trailer. They reduce the risk of accidents and make loading and unloading safer and more efficient. Properly selected levelers help protect employees, products, and material handling equipment.
Dock Seals and Dock Shelters
Dock seals and shelters help close gaps between the building and the trailer. They protect interior spaces from weather, dirt, and pests while improving climate control. These systems also help maintain energy efficiency inside the facility.
Dock Plates and Dock Boards
Dock plates and boards provide portable solutions for bridging small height differences. They are ideal for lighter-duty applications or facilities with varying trailer heights. These products offer flexibility while maintaining safety during loading operations.
Yard Ramps
Yard ramps allow forklifts and equipment to access trailers at ground level. They are commonly used when a permanent loading dock is not available. Yard ramps support flexible operations and improve loading efficiency in outdoor environments.
Vehicle Restraints
Vehicle restraints secure trailers in place during loading and unloading. They help prevent trailer movement that could lead to accidents or damage. Proper restraint systems improve overall dock safety and reduce liability risks.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of dock equipment are best for my facility?
The right dock equipment depends on your building layout, trailer types, and daily operation volume. Facilities with frequent loading often benefit from dock levelers and vehicle restraints. A professional evaluation helps determine the best combination of equipment for safety and efficiency.
How do dock levelers improve loading dock safety?
Dock levelers bridge the gap between the dock and the trailer, creating a stable surface for forklifts and workers. This reduces the risk of slips, falls, and equipment damage. Properly maintained levelers also improve loading speed and control.
Can dock equipment be installed on existing loading docks?
Yes, most dock equipment can be installed on existing docks. Our technicians assess your current setup and recommend equipment that fits your facility. Installation is performed with minimal disruption to operations whenever possible.
How often should dock equipment be serviced or inspected?
Dock equipment should be inspected regularly to ensure safe operation. High-use facilities may require more frequent inspections and maintenance. Routine service helps prevent breakdowns and extends the life of the equipment.
Do you provide repairs and maintenance for dock equipment?
