Yard ramps, also called portable loading ramps or portable loading docks, are a safe and cost effective answer to many loading dock issues. They allow traffic from the ground up into a truck bed or from the dock level down to the ground.
A low-cost piece of equipment used to bridge the gap between a loading dock and the back of a truck, dock boards (for forklift loading) and dock plates (for non-powered loading) make for easy loading and off-loading of trucks when a leveler is non-existent, or wider than the truck opening.
Dock Levelers are used to bridge the gap between the dock and the trailer during loading and unloading. Many trailers come in with bed heights either above or below the height of the dock. Dock Levelers move up or down to meet the trailer bed so that forklifts can make a smooth safe transition into and out of the trailer. Mechanical Dock Levelers are the most common (and economical) type of leveler. It is self-contained, and operates without any electrical or hydraulic assistance.

Airbag Dock Levelers are push-button operated and raise and lower through the inflation/deflation of an airbag.

Hydraulic Levelers offer push-button operation and are actuated with an electric motor and hydraulic cylinders.
Vehicle Restraints are devices that latch onto trailers to keep them from separating from the dock during loading/unloading. A more effective solution than wheel chocks, vehicle restraints have been OSHA approved since 1981.
Dock seals provide airtight protection to the loading dock are during loading and unloading of trucks. Used in situations with uniform truck size, the trailer compresses the resilient foam pads that frame the door, eliminating the gap between the facility and the vehicle body. Especially economical in heated or refrigerated multiple-dock facilities, dock seals create economy by not allowing conditioned air to escape while trucks are being loaded/unloaded.
Ideal for facilities that accept trucks of varying size, dock shelters close the gap between the facility and the truck body by forming a seal when the vertical and top panels are pushed inward by the truck. Additionally, dock shelters create a seal while leaving the entire truck opening accessible for loading.
Available in a variety of sizes and configurations, guard rail is an ideal way to protect equipment and pallet rack from impact from forklifts, pallet trucks and other in-plant material handling equipment. Guardrail is also often required to protect employees from moving parts and drops.
Dock Bumpers offer protection to your dock and dock equipment by providing a shock-absorbing surface for trucks to back up against. Dock bumpers are available in a variety of sizes and styles to fit your company’s individual needs.
Wheel chocks are a low-cost solution to the separating of a trailer from a dock during loading and unloading. They are available in a variety of styles and materials to suit your company’s individual needs.
Dock safety lights have red and green lights that help prevent accidents and injuries by providing clear communication between dock personnel and truck drivers. Built-in eyebrow type sun visors increase light visibility. LED model never needs bulb replacements.
