Selection guides for the equipment around a loading bay and on a plant floor.
How to size a dock board
Rate it for the forklift and its load, then check the gap and the height difference, in that order.
Choosing bollards, machinery guards and rack guards
Mounting method and position matter more than diameter, because a guard that transfers the impact into a weak floor has only moved the damage.
Preventing trailer creep at the dock face
A trailer walks forward under repeated forklift entries, and the failure appears as a dock board dropping.
Selecting drum handling equipment
Choose by the motion your process needs: moving, lifting, tipping or storing, because no single product does all four well.
Selecting a self-dumping hopper
The latch mechanism is the product; everything else is a steel box with fork pockets.
Tell us what you need
Send the model code from the specification table, or describe the bay and the loads it handles. You will get a price against the model rather than a general catalogue.
