Where damage usually happens
Dock doors, levellers, door frames and corners take repeated hits from trucks and forklifts. Guard posts, rail systems, bumpers and corner guards absorb impact before it reaches the structure. We fabricate and install protection to match your openings and traffic.
We work from drawings and field measurements, and coordinate around drains, levellers and existing slab details before anchoring.
Choosing the right protection
Door frames and levellers need guards that clear moving parts. Wall faces need rails or bumpers at the height of truck bodies and bumpers. Corners need guards that wrap the edge. We look at the damage that is already there, because it shows where impacts really occur, and fit protection to that evidence.
We also consider drainage and cleaning. Guards fixed over a drain or against a wall can trap water and dirt, so we space and detail them to keep the area easy to maintain.
What dock protection includes
A protected bay is a system rather than one product: dock bumpers, corner and column guards, bollards, guardrail and wheel guides, working together to absorb trailer impact and shield the building structure, the dock levellers and the overhead doors.
Components are sized to your bay layout, trailer height and traffic. Bumper projection, mounting height and guard placement are set from your dock drawings and trailer bed heights, so the steel takes the hit instead of the dock face, leveller or seal.
Bolt-down or embedded
Surface-mount bolt-down bases let us retrofit existing concrete quickly. For a new pour we can supply embed plates and sleeves, coordinated with your general contractor so installation does not stall the bay. Finishes are hot-dip galvanized for wet, salted aprons, or safety-yellow powder-coat for high-visibility warning lines, both built to survive freeze-thaw cycles and forklift wear.
