Warehouse Equipment for Safety, Dock, and Material Handling

Loading Dock Equipment - Dockboards, Access Control & Safety

Loading docks concentrate more risk per square foot than almost anywhere else in a facility: trailers shifting during loading, forklifts crossing a gap between the truck bed and the dock floor, and pedestrians moving through the same lanes as powered equipment. The right dock setup controls that risk at three points: safely bridging the gap between trailer and dock, controlling who and what has access to the dock area, and containing pressurized cylinders and propane stored nearby.

CustomMHS carries dock equipment from Logitrans, WireCrafters, Illinois Engineered, Handle-It, and Vestil. Each product is built from heavy-duty steel or aluminum for daily industrial use in shipping and receiving environments, and every purchase is backed by the manufacturer's warranty.

Selecting the Right Type:

♦ Dock gap: choose a Dockboard for occasional use with different trailer heights, or a fixed Dock Plate or Edge-O-Dock for a permanent bridging solution.
♦ Access control, choose a Security Cage or Gate to control who enters the dock area, and Guard Rails to control where vehicles can travel.
♦ Storage needs: add cylinder or propane storage cabinets to keep pressurized containers secured near the dock.

Where Commonly Used:

♦ Loading and Unloading Areas, dockboards and dock plates bridge the gap between trailer and dock floor.
♦ Dock Entry Points, security cages and gates control access during and between loads.
♦ High-Traffic Forklift Lanes: guard rails define safe travel paths around the dock.
♦ Shipping and Receiving Areas: cylinder and propane cabinets keep pressurized storage secured on site.
