Your loading docks take a lot of rough treatment. From trucks backing into them to incorrect or improper use of opening and closing access, there are many reasons why installing the right kind of dock equipment for your material handling facility is a must. Docks can be chaotic environments. There may be multiple things going on in different areas that make it hard for any one person to control everything. Docks are also a dangerous area for multiple reasons, so having safe and secure dock equipment is a priority.

Dock Levelers

There are a lot of differences in trailer heights: different brands, different weight of loads and even different wheel and tire sizes. You cannot control any of that, but you will need to control whether or not the trailer and your warehouse floor are on the same level so that loading and unloading can be performed safely and efficiently and the risk of accidents and falls is minimized.

Dock levelers come in several different kinds, including hydraulic, pneumatic, mechanical and end of dock. For best weight capacity and ease of use, hydraulic levelers operate on a push button. More budget friendly, but still push button, are pneumatic levelers, which have a mid-range capacity.
