Many are unaware of its design and function, but the best dock layouts and equipment are necessary for safety, efficiency and maintaining your daily productivity and loading operations.

A Variety of Dock Levelers to Meet Your Needs
Dock levelers are essential for your warehouse’s daily function. They bridge the gap between the height difference of the dock and the truck. At Continental Door, we offer several varieties of dock levelers, including mechanical and hydraulic options. A benefit to either of these options is that they are stored vertically, flush against the side of the building. They act as a safety barrier between the warehouse and dock exit, preventing lift trucks from backing off the dock and can increase security from forced entry.

- Mechanical Levelers: Our mechanical levelers are very simple to use, have zero energy costs and are available in a standard or I-beam option. If you find your business needs may change in the future, they can also be fitted with a hydraulic conversion kit to save you money later.
- Hydraulic Levelers: A versatile option, hydraulic levelers can work for common load capacities or custom sizes. They make loading and unloading goods easy and decrease the likelihood of injury. An additional benefit is that they also improve workflow operations.
Dock Seals
Dock seals line the edge of the dock door to seal the gap between the door opening and truck trailer. Without a proper seal, workers and products are exposed to harsh climates like cold, snow, rain and direct sunlight. This is a particularly important loading dock tool if you unload or load food products.
At Continental Door, we offer a variety of foam and air-inflatable seals and rigid and flexible options that fit most common overhead door sizes. With the right Poweramp dock seal, we guarantee increased safety, protected merchandise, reduced operational costs and improved security.
