Hydraulic levelers use a powered pump for push-button operation, offer greater weight capacity, and require less physical effort. Mechanical levelers are manually operated via pull chain and are a cost-effective option for moderate-traffic docks. We'll recommend the right type based on your traffic volume and budget.

OSHA 29 CFR 1910.178(k) addresses vehicle restraint requirements for powered industrial truck operations. Dock restraints are a key component of a compliant loading dock. We document all installed restraint systems for your compliance records.

Dock plates are aluminum and designed for hand trucks and pallet jacks. Dock boards are heavier-duty steel with side curbs rated for forklift use. Capacity ranges from 5,000 lbs (light aluminum) to 40,000+ lbs (heavy steel). We'll specify the right type for your equipment.

Yes. We service and repair dock levelers, truck restraints, and dock equipment from all major manufacturers, regardless of who installed them. Bring us in for inspection, repair, or an ongoing maintenance program.

A single hydraulic or mechanical dock leveler installs in one day in most cases. Pit preparation or concrete work, if needed, adds time — we'll scope that into your estimate upfront so you can plan dock operations around it.

We install equipment from all major manufacturers — including Rite-Hite, Serco, Blue Giant, Pentalift, and others. We'll spec the right product for your application, not just the brand we happen to stock.

Yes. Dock levelers and truck restraints need regular inspection — hydraulic fluid checks, lip hinge wear, restraint hook condition, and electrical connections on automatic systems. We offer scheduled maintenance programs so problems surface on your calendar, not during a shift.

We serve warehouses and distribution facilities throughout the greater St. Louis, Jefferson City, and Springfield, MO metro areas and surrounding communities. Call (636) 475-4222 or submit online to confirm coverage for your location.
