Can you help with an insurance claim after a truck hit our dock?

Yes, within limits. We photograph the damage, record the equipment details and give you a written repair-or-replace assessment with a line-item quote. We don't act as your adjuster or promise what will be covered, since your insurer makes that call. Clear documentation early usually makes the conversation with them simpler.

Which brands do you sell?

We sell equipment from the manufacturers we represent, and our crew knows those lines from setting them up and servicing them day to day. Tell us what you have now when you call. We'll explain what we can supply and how it compares to your current units.

Should we repair our leveler or replace it?

It depends on the unit's age, the condition of the deck and lip, and whether parts are still available. If a repair makes more sense, we'll say so. When it's close, you get both numbers so you can decide.

How long does it take to get new equipment in place?

Lead times vary by manufacturer, model and options. We put the expected ordering timeline in your quote and update you if it changes. Installation is scheduled around your receiving hours.

Do you work with facilities outside Shamokin?

Yes. We work with warehouses, manufacturers and stores across the area, including Sunbury, Mount Carmel, Danville and Bloomsburg.

Buying the right equipment the first time

Dock equipment stays in service for years, and a wrong pick shows up fast. A leveler may be too short for the height gap your trucks bring. A restraint may not catch the rear impact guard on your carriers' trailers. A door may stay open longer than your heating budget can handle. We start with how your dock is really used, then recommend equipment that fits it.

Our technicians are factory-trained and certified on equipment from the manufacturers we represent. The advice comes from people who set up, adjust and service these units, not from a brochure. If installation is part of the plan, our loading dock equipment installation crew takes it from there.

Many buyers call us after a trailer strike or a leveler failure. In that case we also help you document the damage for your insurance claim. We explain what insurers usually want to see, but the coverage decision stays with your adjuster.

What you get when you buy through us

A survey of each dock position

We measure dock height, pit dimensions, door openings and the approach grade. We also ask which trailers and carriers you see most. Those numbers decide leveler length, capacity and restraint style.

Options with the trade-offs explained

For each position you get choices at different price points, with the differences in plain words. Examples include hydraulic versus mechanical levelers, or a manual versus powered vehicle restraint.

A line-item written quote

Each piece of equipment, each accessory, removal of old units and installation labor are listed separately. You can see where the money goes and compare it fairly with other bids.

Damage documentation for claims

When equipment was hit or failed, we photograph the damage and record the model and serial details. We write down whether it can be repaired or needs replacing, so your adjuster can review it next to the quote.

Doors that work with the dock

We also supply overhead doors, high speed doors and rolling grilles. That way the door, leveler and restraint at each position work together instead of being bought piecemeal.

Signs it's time to buy instead of repair

The same repairs keep coming back: If one leveler or restraint has needed several service calls in a year, the repair bills may be heading past the cost of a new unit. We'll walk you through the numbers honestly.
Your trailers have changed: Air-ride suspensions, lower deck heights or new carriers can leave an older leveler too steep or short on lip reach. Your forklift operators usually notice first.
Parts are no longer made: Units from discontinued lines can sit idle for weeks waiting on a part. Replacing before the next failure keeps downtime on your schedule.
Structural damage after an impact: A bent deck, cracked lip hinge or twisted restraint carriage after a trailer strike is a safety problem. Some of it can be repaired. Some of it means the unit should come out.
An audit flagged your docks: A safety audit or insurance inspection may point to docks with no vehicle restraint or worn controls. New equipment can close those gaps.

How a purchase works with us

1
A phone conversation
You tell us about your docks, what's failing and how many positions are involved. We ask about trailer types and receiving hours so the visit is worth your time.
2
A survey at your facility
We measure each position and look at the pit, the concrete and the door. If there's damage, we photograph it before anything is touched.
3
Recommendation and written quote
You get the options, the line-item quote and, where it applies, the damage write-up for your insurer. There's no pressure to decide on the spot.
4
Ordering and scheduling
Once you approve, we order the equipment and plan the work around your shipping schedule. Often we do one dock at a time so the others keep running.
5
Handover to your team
After installation we show your crew how to operate it and what to check daily. We can also set up loading dock preventative maintenance to keep the new equipment in shape.

What moves the price of new dock equipment

There's no single price for a dock leveler or a door. We talk through your docks by phone first, then confirm everything on site before you get a final quote. These are the things that make the biggest difference.

Capacity and size: Leveler length, width and load rating depend on your forklifts and loads. Longer decks and higher capacity cost more but handle steeper slopes and heavier traffic.
How it operates: Push-button hydraulic levelers cost more up front than mechanical pull-chain models. They take less effort to run and usually need less adjustment over time.
Pit and concrete condition: A new leveler may need pit repair, new curb angle or new embeds. We check this during the survey so it's in the quote, not a surprise later.
Positions and add-ons: Ordering several docks together can lower the cost per unit. Restraints, dock lights, door-to-leveler interlocks and insulated doors for Pennsylvania winters add to the total.
Claim details: Our price is the same with or without a claim. What you pay out of pocket depends on your deductible and what your insurer approves.
