Dock Equipment
Loading docks, levelers, overhead and commercial doors.
A dock position out of service costs a distribution facility more per hour than almost anything else on the property, and dock equipment is exactly where the "replace the whole unit" quote shows up most often — because the parts are obsolete and the vendor would rather sell a new leveler.
We work on every make. That matters more here than on any other trade: dock equipment outlives its manufacturer's support, and a twenty-year-old leveler with no parts left is precisely the call a brand-tied service company can't take. We repair levelers, restraints, seals and doors, and we weld and fabricate the structural pieces that fail on old equipment — so most of what gets condemned comes back in a day. When a position genuinely needs new equipment we install that too, and the repair and the replacement come from the same crew.
