Loading Dock Equipment and Dock Levelers in Omaha

A garage door is only part of what keeps a loading dock running. Garage Doors of Omaha also installs and services dock levelers and dock seals for warehouses, distribution centers, and industrial facilities across the metro, so the whole loading area works together safely.

Need the overhead door itself serviced? Visit our commercial garage door services in Omaha page for repair and installation options.

Dock Levelers

A dock leveler bridges the gap between your building and a trailer bed, letting forklifts and pallet jacks move safely between the two even when heights do not line up perfectly. We install and repair both hydraulic and mechanical dock levelers, and service the ones already installed at your facility regardless of the original manufacturer.

Dock Seals and Shelters

Dock seals and shelters close the gap around a parked trailer, keeping out weather, dust, and pests while helping hold your building's temperature steady. Worn or torn seals are one of the most common sources of energy loss at a loading dock, and replacing them is usually a fast, affordable fix.

Signs Your Dock Equipment Needs Service

• Dock leveler does not sit flush with the trailer bed
• Leveler lip fails to extend or retract smoothly
• Visible cracks, tears, or gaps in dock seals
• Noticeable drafts or temperature loss near the dock door
• Hydraulic leaks around a mechanical leveler

Worn dock equipment is also a safety issue, since an uneven leveler or a gap around a trailer can create a fall or pinch hazard for staff loading and unloading. For general guidance on keeping a loading dock area safe, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration publishes an overview of loading dock hazards for powered industrial trucks.

We service loading dock equipment for facilities throughout the metro, including Bellevue near Offutt Air Force Base, Millard near Zorinsky Lake Park, Waterloo near Two Rivers State Recreation Area, and Blackstone near Turner Park.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do You Service Dock Levelers You Did Not Originally Install?

Yes, we service and repair dock levelers and seals regardless of who installed them originally.

How Often Should Dock Seals Be Replaced?

It depends on how often the dock is used and the weather it is exposed to, but most facilities replace seals every few years as wear becomes visible.

Can a Bad Dock Leveler Damage Forklifts or Product?

Yes. An uneven or malfunctioning leveler can jolt loads, damage equipment wheels, and create a safety risk for staff moving product on and off trailers.
