Dock Equipment: Lifts, Dockplates, Bumpers
Protect your dock & people - and safely load your trucks
 | Dock bumpers protect both your docks and trucks as they load and unload by absorbing and deflecting impacts. Laminated, molded and extruded bumpers maximize impact protection to prevent structural damage at docks and in-plant. |
 | Dock Boards bridge the gap between the truck and the dock, allowing for the safe loading of trucks. Made of strong but lightweight aluminum, or heavy duty steel for the heaviest loads. Capacities range from 6,000 to 40,000 lbs. |
 | More than half of all deaths at loading docks and in
warehouse/distribution facilities can be prevented with safety sensors
that set off an alarm at critical traffic points. Increase productivity
while decreasing the chances of serious injury or even death. |
 | Counterbalanced gas cylinders allow easy lifting and safe gate operation to help
prevent nasty accidents and injuries. An effective barrier for personnel
and equipment working near dock doors, truck loading pits or other
hazardous areas. |
 | Especially valuable for
nighttime docking operations, these reflectors are highly visible from
even the dock approach point. Assist truck drivers as they pull into your loading docks and enhance safety at the
dock by preventing collisions with dock walls. |
 | Clearly communicate loading status between the loading dock and truck
driver with simple traffic lights. When it's green at the dock, the
exterior light is red, indicating it is not safe to move the truck. Red
light at the dock means driver has a green light to go. |
 | During hot summer days, loading docks workers are fatigued or overheated and productivity drops. Mistakes are made; safety can be impaired. High velocity dock fans keep conditions cooler, making workers more comfortable and productive. |
 | Pit-Mounted or Surface-Mounted Lifts that load a variety of vehicles at
nearly any kind of dock, when the dock is too high or too low, or even
when there is no loading dock. Avoid injuries and lost productivity due
to hand loading. |
 | Keep your employees safe and comply with OSHA regulations when you use Wheel Chocks to keep a truck from rolling while loading or unloading with forklifts. Available in laminated, molded, urethane, and aluminum construction. |
 | Restrict access to your warehouse by securing dock-side personnel doors.
Provides a secure waiting area for deliverymen, truck drivers, service
crews, and other facility visitors. Visitors enter an external door, but
must be admitted by authorized personnel. |
 | Without adequate lighting in the truck trailer, forklift drivers have difficulty judging distances; workers can trip or make errors that take time and damage products. Add more light to your dock areas and into trailers to increase safety and productivity. |
 | Folding security gates make your facility more secure, but allow access.
They fold easily back and out of the way when people or equipment need
to pass, but provide a lockable barrier when closed. Available in a
number of sizes and configurations. |
 | When you do not have a truck high dock, or have more trucks to load than available docks, portable yard ramps can be used to load trucks from ground level. Tows easily with a forklift. Height adjusts using onboard hydraulic pump. |
 | Placing these under the front of trailers when no tractor is attached keeps trailers from shifting or upending during loading operations. Also used to level a trailer parked on an uneven surface or for a few more inches of lift to reach a dock. |
 | Medium duty collapsible gravity roller bed in an aluminum frame without supports is lightweight and easy to store. Makes a great tool for any delivery driver, warehouse worker, convenience or grocery store back room clerk. |
 | Dock doors are one of the higher traffic areas in facilities and should receive the same sort of protection that other machines and areas receive. Goal post dock guards protect the dock door from forklift damage that may occur from sharp turns or raised forks. |
 | On a busy shipping & receiving dock, poor angles or blocked sight lines often result in expensive damage to door tracks. Protecting them with overhead & dock door track guards that surround the tracks with steel is an economical and sensible precaution. |
 | Increase productivity by improving traffic flow efficiency. High-speed doors allow you to keep materials moving through the dock, from facility to facility, from cool to warm temperatures zones without the tedious wait as doors slowly open. |
 | Vinyl roll-up dock doors help create a more controlled work environment
in any facility that has high volume forklift traffic. Block the sun's
heat, separate work areas or reduce noise. Motorized doors at 18" and 36"
per second speeds or manual chain hoist doors. |
 | Manually sliding mesh screen dock doors provide better ventilation,
circulation, and allows for more fresh air in your facility. Greatly
helps workers stay cool and blocks insects and scattered debris. Also
increases security by deterring would be trespassers. |
