Warehouse and Dock Equipment
Loading Dock Equipment - Dockboards, Access Control & Material Handling
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: bridging the gap between trailer and dock safely, controlling who and what has access to the dock area, and moving freight efficiently once it's off the truck.
CustomMHS carries dock and warehouse equipment from Logitrans, WireCrafters, Illinois Engineered, MECO, Handle-It, Vestil, and Little Giant. 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 or Bollards to control where vehicles can travel.
♦ Material handling, match stacker, pallet truck, or skid lift capacity to your heaviest dock load, and choose powered options for high-frequency use.
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, bollards, and floor tape define safe travel paths around the dock.
♦ Shipping and Receiving Staging Areas, racking, shelving, and IBC stands organize freight and materials near the dock.
