Loading Dock Equipment
Enhance and streamline your warehouse operations with top-notch dock equipment.
A Comprehensive Range of Loading Dock Equipment
Dock equipment is essential for efficient and safe operations at loading docks. With a wide range of products, businesses can optimize their workflow and protect employees, facilities, and cargo.
Here is a look at what Polymatic offers:
Link to: Dock Levelers
Using Dock Levelers for Safe Material Handling
Dock levelers are vital for the safe and easy movement of products on and off trucks. Bridging the gap between loading docks and vehicle beds, they connect the two to enable efficient material handling. Hydraulic models utilize hydraulic cylinders to lift heavy loads but require more frequent maintenance. Mechanical levelers reduce costs and maintenance for lighter loads through counterbalance systems. Custom sizing, weight capacity, and features like weather seals and bumpers help maximize efficiency. The optimal dock equipment choice depends on load weight, maintenance needs, and budget.
Link to: Seals and Shelters
Protecting Warehouses With Dock Seals and Shelters
Dock seals and shelters protect valuable warehouse interiors from outside contaminants when trucks are present. Seals fill in gaps around trailers using compressible foam pads or inflatable bags. Shelters provide an alternative with sturdy metal and fabric frames. Inflatable shelters deliver flexible, air-tight seals. Custom sizing guarantees an optimal fit to doors. The ideal docking equipment option depends on door design, weather, traffic, and more factors. With proper installation, seals can work most effectively.
Link to: HVLS Fans
Circulating Air With HVLS Fans
High volume low speed (HVLS) fans efficiently circulate air in warehouses. Their large diameter blades move air downwards, creating comfort and reducing temperature stratification, which lowers energy costs. Customized fan sizing and strategic placement optimize airflow for the space. Controls allow seasonal programming and speed adjustment. Their durable construction suits industrial settings well. With proper planning, HVLS fans can greatly improve circulation.

Upgrade Productivity and Efficiency
Our sturdy loading dock equipment enables quicker, smoother loading and unloading of trucks and railcars. Products like hydraulic dock levelers, vehicle restraints, and dock lifts let workers easily transition cargo between the warehouse floor and transportation vehicles.
Features such as push-button control panels streamline loading and unloading by allowing workers to operate equipment with the touch of a button. Extended lips and superior seals on dock levelers also create a tighter seal between the dock and the vehicle for efficient material handling.
Investing in reliable dock equipment boosts productivity by speeding up loading and unloading times and delivering steady, dependable performance shift after shift.
Hassle-Free Loading and Unloading
The right loading dock equipment makes loading and unloading trucks simpler and more convenient for workers. Vehicle restraints securely hold trucks at the dock during loading and unloading, reducing trailer creep.
Powered dock levelers quickly raise and lower to the precise truck bed height with the push of a button. This allows workers to safely and quickly move cargo in and out of trailers of varying heights. Options like dock lifts also enable easy access to railcars and low truck beds below dock level. This allows effortless loading and unloading without excessive bending or lifting.
Streamlined Workflow
Quality loading dock equipment streamlines warehouse workflow by reducing bottlenecks and delays. Features like automatic return-to-dock and lip activation simplify loading by eliminating extra steps.
Intuitive control panels with indicator lights also simplify equipment operation for workers. This simplifies training and keeps things moving smoothly and efficiently. Reliable equipment means fewer failures that can hinder operations. This maintains a steady loading and shipping workflow.
Smarter Space Use
The right dock equipment can optimize valuable warehouse space. Dock levelers with vertical storing design allow the equipment to fold upright against the wall when unused. This clears floor space that can be utilized for storing inventory or staging shipments. Optimizing space is crucial for many small or growing warehouses.
Dock seals and shelters also help maximize space by sealing around trucks tightly. This prevents costly energy loss from the warehouse interior, reducing heating and cooling costs.
