What is Loading Dock Equipment?

Commercial and industrial buildings use loading docks to load and unload trucks with ease and safety. To make this process even more efficient, manufacturers install dock equipment like bumpers, levelers, hooks, and more. All of these accessories help your truck loading dock to operate with the most convenience for your business and safety for your employees. To increase the performance of your shipping and receiving process, loading dock equipment installation, repair, and maintenance are important. To give you the best dock equipment services, our highly trained technicians install Blue Giant commercial products. 

Loading Dock Installation

There are numerous important parts to a productive and safe loading dock for your business. This means there are a lot of equipment choices to consider during the loading dock design process. For example, if you need dock plates for lighter loads or the more durable dock boards for larger vehicles like forklifts. Or, what kind of dock bumper will best protect your dock area if a truck accidentally backs into it. To ensure you choose the best equipment for your dock, trust our commercial technicians. They can take loading dock width and loading dock height measurements, installing the most fitting gear. Our commitment to helping with your dock planning will create the best finished product for your business.

Barriers

Dock safety barriers are a cost-effective, simple addition to your loading dock that goes a long way to prevent unnecessary accidents. They are retractable, net, or metal barriers that stretch across the opening of your dock. When in place, they prevent run-away equipment, forklifts, or products from rolling out of your opening. 

Dock Safety Lights

Because the interior of large trucks can be dark during the loading and unloading process, dock safety lights are an important element of your dock safety equipment. With bright light bulbs and extendable arms, your employees can easily place the lights wherever they’re needed and remove them at the job completion. This creates a safe and OSHA-compliant work environment for your employees. 

Truck Restraint Systems

Truck restraint systems serve the vital function of locking incoming and outgoing trucks in place while they are loaded or unloaded. Designed simply, they can secure a vehicle weighing up to 35,000 lbs, then be easily disconnected at the end of the project. From Blue Giant, we install four types of vehicle restraints including hydraulic, mechanical, electric, and wheel chocks.
