Simplified Height Adjustment to Load Trailers of Varying Heights

To maintain productivity when servicing trailers of varied heights, Dockzilla’s Adjustable Height Loading Dock features adjustable front support legs with an impressive 32” to 56” service range to offload most vehicles – from pickup trucks to trailers and intermodal containers.   

Remains Steadfast:  Unlike commodity ramps, these freestanding loading docks feature a patented design to absorb trailer impact forces despite repeated pummeling from trailers backing in, so this loading dock won’t skid or slide out of place.

Complete Loading Dock:  For customers in grade-level buildings without dock high doors, or for those who need to offload trailers away from a facility, these architecturally-designed loading docks arrive complete with an integral dock leveler, IBC/OSHA safety features, and vehicle restraint compatibility. 

No Construction:  These pre-fabricated loading docks ship quickly and are assembled onsite in less than 2 hours without the need for costly excavation or permanent construction. These adjustable loading docks are modular, so they can be relocated to other sites when needed.

  • Adjustable front legs raise or lower for varying bed heights

“Ordered a new outdoor dock from Dockzilla for a new operation in Clearwater FL. We found the sales and specification process to be seamless. Supply channels were just loosening up, so our lead-time on our new dock was comparable to others, and we received it within a short window of the promised delivery. We poured the foundation and pad previous to arrival based on the drawings provided, so once the dock arrived we just craned it into place right off the truck. Nice work Dockzilla! Dock is performing as planned and needed.”
