Dock Equipment

Improve Loading Dock Efficiency and Safety

Comprehensive Loading Dock Equipment Solutions for Safety and Efficiency

Your shipping and receiving area is one of the most demanding and potentially hazardous operations in your facility. Forklifts weighing up to five tons, fast-paced schedules, and heavy loads with obstructed views create an environment where safety risks are high. Trailers can unexpectedly shift during loading, and environmental factors like rain, dirt, or gravel can compromise traditional safety measures.

The right equipment is essential to ensure safety, operational efficiency, and long-lasting durability in this high-stakes environment. At W.W. Cannon, we provide a comprehensive range of loading dock solutions to mitigate these risks and help your team work with confidence.

Comprehensive Loading Dock Solutions

Our extensive range of loading dock equipment is designed to address every safety and efficiency challenge, ensuring your team can work with confidence:

Dock Boards and Plates

Smooth the transition between trailers and the dock for safe, efficient material handling. Our selection includes portable and fixed options designed to accommodate various load capacities and forklift types.

Dock Levelers

Ensure seamless loading and unloading with dock levelers that bridge the gap between the dock and trailer. Designed for heavy loads and frequent use, they enhance safety by preventing dangerous gaps or level mismatches.

Dock Lifts and Truck Risers

Elevate safety and productivity with dock lifts that enable easy access to trailers at varying heights. Truck risers provide a stable and level platform for loading and unloading, especially when trailers and docks are at different heights.

Dock, Yard, and Rail Ramps

Enhance mobility with ramps designed for yard, dock, and rail applications. Whether fixed or portable, these ramps allow for the safe and efficient transfer of goods.

Dock Bumpers, Seals, and Shelters

Protect your dock and facility from damage and environmental exposure. Dock bumpers prevent wear and tear on vehicles and structures, while seals and shelters maintain energy efficiency and climate control.

Vehicle Restraints

A vital safety component, vehicle restraints prevent trailers from premature departure, eliminating the risks associated with traditional wheel chocks. These restraints are engineered to secure trailers reliably and comply with OSHA regulations.

Dock Gates and Barriers

Safeguard personnel and equipment with dock gates and barriers that prevent accidental falls or forklift overrun. These solutions meet or exceed OSHA standards for elevated platforms and loading docks.

Loading Dock Controls

Streamline dock operations with integrated control systems that manage equipment and enhance safety. This category includes light communication systems to ensure clear signals between dock personnel and truck drivers, along with advanced software to monitor dock activity.

Dock Accessories

Address the finishing touches for a safe and efficient dock system. Dock Accessories enhance safety, efficiency, and protection at the loading dock, offering solutions such as barriers, lighting, weather seals, communication systems, wheel chocks, and trailer stabilizers.
