Repurpose Your Facility
Transform languishing commercial buildings into thriving shipping facilities
The Dockzilla portable loading dock or mobile loading dock ramp, allows businesses to add a yard ramp virtually anywhere and still experience the safety and performance capabilities of a permanent loading dock. Ideal for leased facilities or seasonal businesses, these freestanding forklift loading dock ramps also help manufacturers gain additional shipping capacity in existing buildings and can be relocated for other projects or if a business moves.
Our portable loading docks are thoughtfully-engineered with details that meet or exceed OSHA loading dock requirements and are pre-manufactured as a sturdy and safe loading dock complete with handrails, extra tall side curbs, wheel chocks, and many other features.
