Dock House Leveler

Dockzilla’s loading Dock House is a modular structure that integrates our self-standing dock leveler and an adjustable steel frame within a dock house enclosure. Unlike conventional pit levelers, this dock 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 loading Dock House “vestibule” encloses the path between building and trailer for substantial thermal benefits and other ROI:

Energy Savings: When the loading dock house 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. Read more.

No Construction: Exterior dock levelers and loading dock houses 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.  Read more.

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 and dock houses preserve 100 sq. ft. of interior floor space per dock position, so there’s more usable area inside for storage and warehouse operations.

Modular Dock House 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

Energy Savings

Loading Dock House 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.

Versatile

Loading Dock House is 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 loading 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.”
