Cold storage facilities, manufacturing plants, and distribution warehouses depend on reliable loading dock equipment to keep goods moving safely and on schedule. Unsealed dock openings and mechanical sticking slow down operations while driving up energy costs for building owners and general contractors.
At AMP Industrial Solutions, we provide complete loading dock fit-outs tailored to your facility’s temperature requirements and traffic volume. We size dock levelers, seals and shelters, dock doors, and bumpers to match your facility’s needs, rather than supplying standalone components. Procurement managers and facilities teams get a single point of contact for the entire dock installation instead of juggling separate vendors for each part.
Dock Levelers
A dock leveler bridges the gap between the warehouse floor and the trailer bed, allowing forklifts and pallet jacks to cross safely without tipping loads. We supply dock levelers built for heavy daily use, which accommodate everything from periodic deliveries to continuous cross-docking operations.
Hydraulic Dock Levelers
Hydraulic dock levelers are the top choice for facilities that run high dock traffic all day. A pump-driven lip and platform let operators raise, extend, and lower the leveler at the push of a button, so forklifts and pallet jacks can cross between the warehouse floor and the trailer bed without causing any downtime. Because the entire cycle is powered rather than spring-assisted, these units hold up well through repeated use, which makes them a strong fit for cross-docking operations, distribution centers, and high-volume cold storage and food processing facilities where the docks are rarely idle.
AMP Industrial Solutions supplies and installs hydraulic dock levelers rated for up to 30,000, 40,000, or 50,000 lbs, running on a standard 115V/1ph/60Hz supply with a 1.1 kW hydraulic group. Deck widths of 6′ and 7′ pair with platform lengths from 6′ to 12′, and our team sizes the pit to match ahead of installation so nobody is left guessing on dimensions mid-project. Units are available in standard grey or a galvanized finish for facilities that require extra corrosion resistance. AMP handles both the equipment purchase and installation, so procurement teams get one point of contact for the leveler, the set-up, and everything in between.

Mechanical Dock Levelers
Mechanical dock levelers trade the pump and hydraulic lines for a spring-assisted release, which means fewer moving parts, a lower upfront cost, and less to maintain over the life of the unit. For warehouses, indoor agriculture facilities, and manufacturing plants with moderate or periodic dock traffic rather than continuous cross-docking, that simplicity is an advantage where there’s less that can fail and routine maintenance stays straightforward for in-house facilities staff.
Because mechanical levelers cost less to install and service, they’re often the right call for facilities teams working within a tighter capital or maintenance budget, or for secondary docks that see lighter use than a building’s primary loading points. Our team evaluates your actual traffic volume, budget, and dock configuration before recommending mechanical over hydraulic, so your facility gets a leveler sized to how the dock is actually used rather than over- or under-specified for the job.

Vertical Dock Levelers
Vertical dock levelers are engineered for facilities where energy efficiency and temperature control matter as much as load handling. The platform stores in a vertical position when not in use, closing off the dock opening and helping maintain the seal against outside air, which supports the building’s overall thermal performance alongside its dock seals and doors.
Built with a heavy-duty diamond plate platform and reinforced hinges, these levelers are made to handle daily wear without warping or loosening over time. A sealed hydraulic system runs both the lifting motion and the folding lip, keeping dirt, dust, and sand out of the working parts, and can be paired with an integrated vehicle restraint system for added safety. Electrical service and control panel options are available to match your building’s existing power setup. AMP’s team can walk through mounting requirements, including how the leveler integrates with your existing wall or framing, as part of the installation planning process.

Mechanical Edge of Dock Leveler
Edge-of-dock levelers are built for docks where space, budget, or trailer height range doesn’t call for a full pit-mounted leveler. Rather than sitting flush with the floor in a recessed pit, they mount directly to the face of the dock, making them a practical option for lower-traffic docks, retrofits, or facilities where excavating a full leveler pit isn’t feasible.
Despite the smaller footprint, these units are built for daily commercial use, with a reinforced platform and lip designed to hold up over years of loading and unloading. For warehouse managers and general contractors working with tight dock spacing or a limited installation budget, edge-of-dock levelers deliver the core function of a full leveler without the cost and construction work a recessed pit installation requires.

Portable Yard Ramps
Portable yard ramps solve a different problem than a fixed leveler: they create a loading point anywhere a trailer can park, no permanent dock structure required. That makes them valuable for facilities handling overflow volume, temporary job sites, ground-level loading, or any situation where building a fixed dock isn’t practical or a second loading point is only needed occasionally.
Our portable yard ramps adjust to match trailer bed heights across your fleet and are rated to handle heavy pallet and forklift traffic, with a hydraulic lift that raises and lowers the ramp in under a minute and wheels that make it easy to reposition around the yard. For facilities who need loading flexibility without a construction project, a portable yard ramp delivers dock-level functionality wherever it’s parked, and AMP’s team can talk through sizing before you order.

Dock Doors & Bumpers
A complete loading dock fit-out relies on durable doors and structural protection. We supply insulated loading dock doors in manual and powered options, both sized to your opening and rated for the temperature range your facility sees. To protect your building envelope, we install heavy-duty dock bumpers that absorb repeated vehicle impacts during backing maneuvers.
Pairing the right levelers, seals, doors, and bumpers together at your facility creates an efficient dock envelope that minimizes energy loss while protecting personnel and equipment.
