Sometimes you need to just cut right to the chase, so we’ve wrangled together our customers’ most frequently asked questions about our Dock House Exterior Loading Dock Leveler.
What’s the difference between an Exterior Dock Leveler and a Pit Leveler?
Exterior Dock Levelers install OUTSIDE your building without any concrete work. This makes them 10x faster to install than Pit Levelers, which require digging a pit. No holes in your floors save time, space, and energy, and allow you to relocate the leveler if needed.
How much does an Exterior Dock Leveler cost?
We hate to be “that guy” but every loading situation is unique, and our Exterior Dock Levelers will be tailored for your loading situation. We have various leveler sizes, options to include Dock House, restraints, insulation, DC power and much more. A quick 15-minute conversation with one of our engineers can result in a quote specific to your application.
What maintenance is required?
Our Exterior Dock Levelers feature push-button hydraulic levelers, requiring only simple inspections and fluid checks. Backed by our 5-year warranty, we ensure long-term reliability to eliminate downtime and keep your business firing on all cylinders.
Do I have to install this, or do you?
Our team of experts have Exterior Dock Leveler installs down to a science to get you up and running 10X faster than a pit leveler install—without ever disrupting your internal operations. The best part? No concrete work! If you want to lead install, we can also work with you to coordinate that.
Is this heavy duty enough for high-cycle environments?
Short answer: absolutely. There’s a misconception that the exterior design means it’ll crumble in the face of a bad truck driver. Let us assure you: there isn’t a truck, trailer or cargo van that can shake the Exterior Dock Leveler. Our steel frame is engineered to absorb and redirect impact forces into the ground, protecting your building from damage.
Why should I choose Dockzilla?
The loading dock industry has been stuck in the stone age, with no evolution or innovation. We’ve engineered a better, smarter way to get loading faster with a product that outpaces an in-floor pit leveler in every way. Our team will not be satisfied until we’ve helped you solve your loading challenges.
