Loading dock equipment is crucial to the loading and unloading of goods from trailers in loading docks, as it provides a stabilized place to do so. Patrick Allen Companies can offer various solutions to ensure smooth and efficient operations for your loading dock.
Dock seals provide a tight seal on three sides of the trailer, helping prevent outside elements such as bugs, wind, dust, and other pests from entering your facility. Let us help you make the most informed decision for your warehouse.
Similar to dock seals, dock shelters work to seal the perimeter of the trailer to form a seal. Unlike dock seals, shelters are designed to fit larger dock door openings and accommodate a wide range of trailer heights and styles. They experience less damage from daily wear and tear and allow full access to loads on the trailer. Ensure you receive maximum loading and unloading efficiency with the proper shelter.
Dock levelers include a ramp and lip that bridge the gap between the dock and the trailer for easy loading and unloading. They also allow for the up-and-down movement of the trailer bed during loading, ensuring a secure seal is maintained regardless of fluctuations in the trailer height. We offer a wide variety of mechanical, air-powered, hydraulic, vertical, and other dock levelers to best suit your needs.
A loading dock bumper is a device affixed to a loading dock to absorb the impact of a truck or trailer, protecting the building, loading dock, trailer, and its materials. When developing your facility protection plan, call us to help choose the right loading dock bumper for your facility.
Truck restraints are mechanisms designed to latch onto trailers securely, preventing them from separating from the dock during loading and unloading operations. In addition to restraining vehicles, they enhance the loading dock’s safety, productivity, and security. Tell us how we can provide the best truck restraints for your facility.
