Dock Equipment
Docks are where your business keeps moving.
Southwest Materials Handling provides the most innovative options in dock equipment including, but not limited to, steel and aluminum boards and plates, portable yard ramps and warehouse safety equipment.
Dock Boards
Used to load and unload freight with
a forklift at loading docks, Southwest Materials Handling offers a variety of
dock boards to suit most purposes. Steel dock boards provide a safe ramp for
heavy-duty dock loading applications and feature all-welded steel construction
for capacities of 15,000 to 60,000 pounds. Aluminum dock boards are ideal for
low to medium volume dock loading applications with capacities ranging from
10,000 to 15,000 pounds.
Dock Plates
Dock plates are rectangles of steel
or aluminum with locking leg and either hand hole or handles to move them. They
differ from dock boards in that plates are NEVER used for power equipment, but
are made for manually moving freight with a hand truck or pallet jack. A dock
plate is an ideal solution to bridge the gap between trucks, trailers and loading
docks. They offer the lightest and most cost effective answer to your loading /
unloading needs.
Dock Levelers
Dock levelers are the perfect choice
when the original building did not include pit mounted levelers. Designed to
correct height differences between loading docks, loading platforms and truck
or trailer beds, the edge-of-dock leveler is designed to have a working range
of five inches above and below dock level with capacities from 20,000 to 30,000
pounds. Dock levelers are for forklift truck use and not recommended for use
with pallet jacks or stackers.
Yard Ramps
Yard ramps are a safe and cost
effective answer to many loading dock needs. Made of steel and designed to facilitate traffic
from the ground up into a truck bed, from the ground onto a loading dock, or
from the ground onto a rail car, Southwest Materials Handling offers
stationary, portable and mini yard ramps to suit all purposes.
