Dock and industrial door service across Kenwick
Much of Kenwick's construction, from Sherman Avenue to Owsley Avenue, is decades old. Where a building near National Avenue by the railroad tracks was built with a loading dock, its seals and bumpers meet each truck. On an older dock, seal pads can compress unevenly. That leaves gaps at the trailer's upper corners. A trailer that sits high or low widens those gaps.
A restraint holds the trailer while a forklift crosses the leveler, whose lip should rest flat on the bed. Bumpers keep a hard landing off the dock wall. A torn shelter lets rain and cold in along the trailer's sides. The dock door's photo-eyes and safety edge see the same traffic, so they belong in the same check. The leveler's hinge is checked for wear with the lip.

Commercial service FAQ
Loading dock and industrial service questions
01 Why do older dock seals near National Avenue leave gaps?
On an older Kenwick dock, seal pads can compress unevenly, leaving gaps at the trailer's upper corners. A trailer that sits high or low widens those gaps. We check the pads against the trucks you receive and replace them so the opening closes tight again.
02 What does dock leveler service check?
The leveler's lip should rest flat on the trailer bed, and its hinge is checked for wear. A restraint holds the trailer while a forklift crosses. At a Kenwick dock, leveler, seal and restraint condition are confirmed against the equipment installed before parts are recommended.
03 When should dock bumpers and shelters be replaced?
Replace bumpers before a hard landing reaches the dock wall, and a shelter once it tears, since a torn shelter lets rain and cold in along the trailer's sides. In Kenwick, the dock door's photo eyes and safety edge are checked at the same time, since they see the same traffic.
04 Can Kenwick dock repairs be fitted around deliveries?
Usually, depending on the job. We plan the visit with the person in charge of the building and fit work around deliveries where possible. Urgent access problems are separated from planned maintenance, and the repair price is confirmed before the job is approved.
