Dock House Leveler

Dockzilla’s Dock House is a modular structure that integrates our self-standing dock leveler and an adjustable steel frame within a dock door enclosure. Unlike conventional pit levelers, this Load House design attaches to the outside of a facility to retrofit any dock door without permanent construction.

A More Modern & Sustainable Approach to Loading Dock Design 

Dockzilla’s Dock House “vestibule” encloses the path between building and trailer for substantial thermal benefits and other ROI:

Energy Savings: When the leveler is attached on the outside, the dock door closes directly on the building floor and not on a steel dock plate. This drives energy savings of $2,500/yr., per dock position. 

No Construction: Exterior dock levelers reduce reliance on the difficult-to-find skilled trades for installation and electrical work. These modular units are installed less than a day without concrete or construction, and they feature 24-volt plug-in power, which does not require a licensed electrician.  

Preserve Floor Space: Unlike pit style dock levelers that require extensive building floor demolition to install 10×10 dock plates, Dockzilla’s self-supported levelers preserve 100 sq. ft. of interior floor space per dock position, so there’s more usable area inside for storage and warehouse operations. 

Modular Structure Boosts Savings

  • Installed in a day, without disrupting internal operations
  • Save 100 sq. ft. of floor space per dock
  • Substantial energy savings of $2,500/yr. per dock
  • Minimal reclamation expense when a lease ends
  • Detach & relocate your investment

Retrofit Any Facility

Modular structure bolts onto the exterior of a building which preserves internal floor space for warehouse operations. Easily detached and relocated when needed.

Thermal Vestibule

Encloses our self-standing dock leveler to create a “vestibule” that delivers thermal efficiencies when trailers are in position for loading.

2. Self-Supported Dock Leveler

Energy Savings

Enables the dock door to close directly the building floor instead of a steel dock plate. The result is annual energy savings of approx. $2,500/yr. per dock position. Watch a video here.

Fast & Easy

Dock House dock levelers are attached in a day, with no disruption to internal operations, while pit leveler installation requires weeks of downtime due to permitting, substantial demolition, and concrete work.

Versatile

Easily detached from the building and relocated, while pit style dock levelers structurally change a facility and may require significant reclamation expenses when a lease ends.

“Installing Dockzilla’s Dock House is a no brainer. Having a more modern and sustainable dock leveler option that means we don’t have to dig pits out of our building floors just makes a ton of sense.”
