A dock leveler aligns a truck's height with the building's height, allowing forklifts or hand pallet trucks to safely load & unload the truck. Dock levelers can be beneficial to almost any loading dock operation. If trucks are not within the height differential of a dockboard or you want to turn trucks around quickly, then dock levelers are a great investment.
In the case of an operation loading or unloading one or two trucks per day, the 5 minutes it may take to move a dockboard to the edge of the building and deploy into the truck might be considered a minor time investment depending on the nature of the operation. But consider an operation unloading 12 trucks per day. 12 five minute delays per day is an hour per day of wasted labor. This makes the ROI of a dock leveler well worth considering.
