Service Description
Loading docks that are in poor condition can be as unsafe and inefficient as a dock with no trailer restraint or weather seal. Improving your loading docks and keeping them in proper working order is full-time work. Let us share the burden to improve your operational efficiency and worker safety. Staying proactive is priority 1, 2, and 3 when it comes to loading dock repairs.
Loading Dock Concrete Repairs
Covering the Cleveland and Akron, Ohio area, we perform repairs and remodels to loading dock floors.
- Replacing loading dock corners behind the dock bumper
- Replacing failing and detached curb steel angles
- Addressing rust and corrosion to the loading dock pit walls
- Addition of new dock where there is not one (excavating floor and pouring concrete)
Failing curb steel is especially dangerous as it is one of the areas that a dock leveler is secured to when installed. It is of critical importance to have solid embedded steel angle at your loading dock for this reason.
Crumbling concrete is a common issue, especially in areas like Northeast Ohio that experience harsh freeze-thaw cycles and the use of ice-melting salts and chemicals. Waiting too long to address damaged concrete can lead to further deterioration—and much costlier repairs. If you’re seeing cracks, chips, or exposed aggregate, it’s time to contact Excel Solutions for a concrete loading dock repair estimate.
Need more than a repair? We also handle full loading dock remodels.
If your facility needs a new dock leveler pit where none currently exists, we can help. This process includes sawcutting the existing dock floor, excavating the sub-material, placing a steel pan frame, and pouring new cement. After the concrete cures, a new dock leveler can be installed—bringing your dock up to modern standards for safety and efficiency.
Repair is only part of the story. Long-term safety and functionality require consistent, expert maintenance. From adjusting dock doors to installing lighting, dock bumpers, and safety gates, Excel Solutions provides comprehensive loading dock maintenance services to keep your operations running safely and smoothly—without accidents or unexpected downtime.
Whether or not you already know it, a great deal of knowledge is required to outfit a facility with proper equipment and make sure it operates as intended. Instead of blindly delivering equipment, we gather the preliminary data necessary to provide the correctly spec’d equipment for your project. Doing so not only saves you in costs associated with efficiency, but it also ensures you receive the most from your purchase and keeps you from buying the product again prematurely. One great example is loading dock seals. Dock seals require custom fitting to your loading docks with many characteristics taken into account. Without the right information regarding your operations, incorrectly sized dock seals could be purchased and installed, leading to large building gaps and energy loss.
Your operations are unique to your production and facility needs to deliver an unmatched product, which begs the question: why shouldn’t your loading docks be unique as well? Your loading docks are the first and last area to see product and materials entering and leaving your facility. Excel understands the importance of efficient and safe operations, and has the people with knowledge and skills ready to deliver on an excellent loading dock design. Having a properly designed loading dock with the properly spec’d equipment not only reduces costs through energy savings and improved productivity, but it also saves you from replacing your equipment prematurely.
Dealing with an equipment supplier without properly trained technicians could be a large loss to your organization. Without knowledgeable technicians performing repairs on your equipment, problems with your equipment could go unsolved or missed and incorrect parts ordered, leading to losses in time and money. Excel only works with competent technicians without gouging our clients’ pockets – the only way to conduct business.
Why Planned Maintenance Matters
Much like your automobile, planned preventive maintenance can extend the life of your facility assets and assist in the prevention of costly unexpected repairs, equipment down time, and possible injury to your personnel.
