Quickly Expand Loading Capacity

Dockzilla’s modular platforms allow you to quickly expand dock space, add more loading dock positions or start multi-position remote loading.

Expand Your Building’s Loading Docks

Retrofit your facility within weeks:

  • Turn one dock door into multiple loading dock positions.
  • Add square feet for forklift maneuverability.
  • Maintain operations during permanent construction.
  • Repurpose set-up at another location when lease ends.

Expand beyond a yard ramp or portable loading dock:

  • Add multiple dock positions without a building.
  • Start forklift loading to save time.
  • Install on asphalt or irregular lot–no concrete pad needed.
  • Relocate modular set-up as needed.
