An impressive combination of usability and longevity, hydraulic dock levelers are high-performance systems that operate at the touch of a button. Hydraulic deck and lip cylinders increase operating efficiency and reduce maintenance requirements, resulting in a significantly lower cost of ownership compared to mechanical units.
Mechanical dock levelers are an economical solution to basic applications, while still providing strength and durability. These levelers use a pull chain activation to raise the deck. The operator then simply walks the deck back down to the bed of a trailer or to a stored position.
Edge-of dock levelers are an effective, affordable alternative to portable plates. This loading dock leveler mounts to the face of the dock to make loading and unloading trailers easier, making this solution ideal for medium-traffic loading docks. You’ll get the reliable durability you’re seeking, with improved performance that doesn’t break your budget.
Dock Seals and Shelters improve energy conservation, helping to preserve internal temperatures and protect products from outside contaminants. Which dock seal or shelter is best suited to your loading dock? Dock applications, site criteria and facility operations vary and may require one feature more than the others. Many configurations are available from basic types of compression dock seals, standard dock shelters, inflatable seals to hybrid dock seals, shelters, and inflatable designs. Call us today to help you decide which is best suited for your needs.
Increase safety at the loading dock. Many forklift accidents occur every year that are caused by a truck prematurely departing from the dock or creeping away due to loading and unloading momentum. Installing a vehicle restraint can help prevent these accidents by securing a trailer to the dock and providing better communication between the truck driver and dock attendant.
Safety is the number one goal with any warehouse or loading dock application. Having the right upgrades and accessories can improve the safety, efficiency, and overall life of loading docks. From guide strips to wheel chocks, dock bumpers, guide lights, communication systems and more, the right loading dock equipment can transform your work environment to maximize the most efficient and safest workflow for your business.
