Dock Levelers and Vehicle Restraints
U.S. Materials Handling supplies dock levelers and vehicle restraints that keep loading dock operations safe, efficient, and reliable. A properly equipped dock ensures smooth material transfer between trailers and the warehouse floor while preventing accidents and equipment damage.
Dock Levelers
Dock levelers bridge the gap between loading docks and trailers, creating a smooth transition for forklifts, pallet jacks, and carts.
Types of Dock Levelers
Hydraulic Dock Levelers
Powered operation for fast, reliable performance with minimal operator effort.
Mechanical Dock Levelers
Economical option with spring-assisted operation.
Air-Powered Dock Levelers
Simple design with push-button operation and fewer moving parts.
Vertical Dock Levelers
Provide superior energy efficiency and security by storing upright inside the facility.
Benefits of Dock Levelers
-Smooth and safe transfer of goods
-Reduced risk of accidents caused by uneven trailer floors
-Improved productivity with faster loading and unloading
-Long-lasting, heavy-duty designs for high traffic environments

Types of Vehicle Restraints
Automatic Vehicle Restraints
Engage trailer rear impact guards with minimal operator involvement.

Cost-effective solution for facilities with lower dock traffic.

Benefits of Vehicle Restraints
