Loading dock with a trailer at an open bay and rolling steel doors
Home/Dock Equipment

Loading dock equipment that keeps the trucks moving.

The door is half of the opening. Levelers, restraints, seals and bumpers are the other half, and they are where most dock downtime and most dock injuries actually come from.

Dock scope

Supplied, installed and serviced.

Dock levelers

Hydraulic, mechanical and air-powered pit levelers, plus edge-of-dock and vertical-storing units, sized to your truck mix and load rating.

Vehicle restraints

Hook and wheel-based restraints with interior and exterior light communication, interlocked with the door and leveler.

Seals and shelters

Compression seals, inflatable and rigid shelters. The difference between a conditioned building and paying to cool the parking lot.

Bumpers and guards

Laminated, moulded and steel-faced bumpers, guide posts, bollards and corner protection.

Dock controls

Master control panels, communication lights, interlocks with door and restraint, dock lights and fans.

Dock service

Hydraulic leaks, lip and hinge failures, chain and spring problems, restraint sensors and control faults, 24/7.

Getting it right

Specify the dock around the trucks you actually get.

Dock height, trailer mix, load type and traffic volume decide the equipment. Guess them and you get levelers running at the end of their travel and restraints nobody uses.

Trailer mix and bed heights measured, so leveler travel and dock height match reality.

Capacity rated to the loaded equipment, including the forklift, not just the pallet.

Restraint type matched to your carriers. Hook restraints fail on the trailers they were never meant for.

Seal or shelter chosen by trailer variation and by whether the building is conditioned.

Sequence interlocks so a truck cannot pull away from a loaded dock.
