Dock Equipment

Dock equipment, such as dock levelers, helps bridge the gap between a loading dock and a trailer to ensure smooth, safe material handling. Dock levelers provide a stable transition for forklifts and pallet jacks, improving loading and unloading efficiency while reducing the risk of accidents or product damage.

Air-Powered Dock Leveler

The Blue Giant Air-Powered Dock Leveler operates safely and efficiently under the toughest conditions: temperature extremes, heavy operations, and exposure to caustic substances.

Uses the industry-accepted total load class standard ANSI MH30.1 for ease of weight calculations and usage.

Air-Powered performance is activated by a single push button control station, requiring no bending or pulling on the part of the operator. The blower motor inflates a two-stage airbag via high-volume, low-pressure (HVLP). After releasing the button, the bag deflates, setting the platform on the trailer bed. This air lifting system is an environmentally-friendly alternative to oil-powered hydraulics. A redesigned lip operation system provides positive powered deployment and automatic release when lowering on trailer bed or storing in parked position.

Loading Dock Seals / Shelters

Dock shelters create a tight seal between a loading dock opening and the back of a trailer during loading and unloading. Its primary purpose is to help maintain indoor climate control by reducing air exchange, which improves energy efficiency and protects products from temperature changes, dust, pests, and weather. Dock seals also enhance safety and comfort for workers by minimizing drafts and keeping the dock area cleaner and more controlled. 

We have a variety of styles available depending on your application and the size of your door. Installation by our team is also available.

FAQ

What is a dock leveler?
A dock leveler is a mechanical or hydraulic platform that bridges the gap between a loading dock and a truck trailer, allowing forklifts and pallet jacks to move safely and efficiently during loading and unloading.
What types of dock levelers are available?
Common types include hydraulic dock levelers, mechanical dock levelers, air-powered dock levelers, and edge-of-dock levelers.
How often should dock levelers be maintained?

Dock levelers should be inspected regularly and serviced at least annually to ensure safe operation and compliance with safety standards.

What is a dock seal?
A dock seal is a foam-filled barrier that seals the perimeter between the dock opening and a truck trailer to help maintain interior climate control and keep out dust, debris, and pests.
What is the difference between a dock seal and a dock shelter?

Dock seals provide a tight seal by compressing against the trailer, while dock shelters use fabric curtains and frames to accommodate varying trailer sizes and provide better access.

Why are dock seals important?

Dock seals improve energy efficiency, protect products from weather, enhance worker comfort, and help maintain temperature control in refrigerated or climate-sensitive environments.
