Frequently Asked Questions
Many of our clients have questions about our products and services. We’ve answered some of the ones we hear most often for you to get you started.
What is a vehicle restraint, and how do I choose one?
A vehicle restraint is a device to prevent the moving of the truck when loading or unloading freight. This is typically a large metal hook and chain secured to the base of the dock. The hook and chain can be attached either to the frame of the truck or the bumper. Vehicle restraints tend to be versatile between trucks, so you will need to ensure that the restraint you purchase is highly durable, strong, and reliable.
What is a dock seal or shelter, and how do I choose one?
Dock seals and shelters are placed around the loading dock to ensure that there will be no gaps between the truck and the loading dock when loading and unloading. This is particularly important when you need to have constant temperature. Seals and shelters typically have a tradeoff between maneuverability and sealing power. Seals for temperature control require precise placement, while shelters allow for more maneuverability for the truck.
What is a standard loading dock size?
There is currently no set standard for a dock door. 8 ft. x 9 ft. is common, and most doors are between 8 and 10 feet high. Width can vary between 7’6” and 10 feet. The requirements of the trucks you will be working with will dictate the necessary size in most cases.
