The Problem with Traditional Pit-Style Dock Levelers
The traditional loading dock design, with a pit dug into your building floor, offers opportunities for pests to live their best lives at the loading dock.
Leveler Cracks: Pit levelers have one-inch gaps that are completely open to the outside environment making it easier than ever for pest to slip inside.
Uncollected Garbage: Cleaning out pit leveler debris is a dangerous task so it’s often put off to create a dirty environment ripe for pests.
Once pests have infiltrated your facility, they can wreak havoc on your operations, including:
Property damage: rodents chew through cables and insulation, causing expensive repairs..
Contamination: pests can infect food, beverages, medications and other products, leading to health risks and product loss.
Higher insurance: pest infestations can even lead to higher premiums.
