title: Loading Dock Equipment
…2 unchanged lines
description: >
When to use: Specifying, selecting, and installing the full assembly of equipment at truck-height loading docks — dock levelers (mechanical, hydraulic, air-powered, vertical-storing, edge-of-dock), portable dock plates and boards, dock bumpers, dock seals and shelters, vehicle/trailer restraints, and the electrical interlock and dock-light system that ties them together. Applies to distribution centers, warehouses, cold-storage facilities, retail and institutional receiving docks, food and beverage plants, and industrial facilities, for both new dock-pit construction and retrofit at existing openings.
− Not intended for: The doors that close the dock opening (see [[sync/overhead-coiling-doors]] and [[sync/sectional-overhead-doors]]); the structural concrete/masonry dock pit and pit-wall (general structural package); shop-fabricated dock approach aprons and recessed bumper angle iron furnished by structural steel trades (see [[sync/metal-fabrications]]); wall and corner protection at staging areas (see [[sync/wall-and-corner-protection]]); interior cranes and hoists (see [[sync/overhead-material-handling]]); refrigeration and cold-chain systems (see [[sync/refrigeration-equipment]]); and dock approach paving, yard grading, and trailer-yard design (civil/site scope).

−- Shop-fabricated steel dock approach aprons and recessed bumper angle iron welded in place by structural steel trades — see [[sync/metal-fabrications]].
+- Shop-fabricated steel dock approach aprons — see [[sync/metal-fabrications]]; recessed bumper angle iron at the dock edge — see [[sync/miscellaneous-metals]].
- Wall and corner protection at dock staging and circulation areas — see [[sync/wall-and-corner-protection]].
