Dock Levelers
Dock levelers bridge the gap and height difference between the dock and the trailer. They also minimize product spills, wear and tear on equipment, and the strong vibrations which cause chronic back and neck injuries for forklift operators. A dock leveler includes a hinged ramp (hinged along its rear edge) and a lip (hinged at the front of the ramp).
Dock Seals & Shelters
Dock shelters provide a seal between the truck and the loading area. Having a seal or shelter will make your operation more energy efficient, protect against debris or pests, and shield you from rain or snow.
Dock Lifts
Make your dock totally accessible, increase productivity and improve safety with dock lifts. Dock lifts make it easy to move product from the truck bed onto the ground while keeping your employees safe and reducing chances for product damage. Available in a wide variety of sizes and weights capacities for many operations.
Truck Restraints
Truck restraints safely secure trailers to the loading dock. They minimize the chances the trailer and dock will separate, ensuring a smooth loading or unloading process.
Dock Impact Barriers
Dock impact barriers are physical barriers you can install at all loading docks. They help prevent forklifts and pedestrians from falling off the dock when the door is open.
Controls
Control panels integrate with trailer restraints to add efficiency and safety to loading operations. Master control panels can help prevent accidents and damage by alerting workers to the status of trailer restraints.
Communication Systems
Automatic: The signaling device alerts drivers and dock personnel to the status of docked or docking trucks and can be interlocked with other equipment.
Manual: A high visibility safety signaling device. With the trailer in the proper position, the operator manually switches the exterior light to red and the interior light to green signaling the trailer is safe to load.
