🚪 Discover the Advantages of Edge of Dock Levelers! Are you looking to streamline your loading dock operations? 🚚 Edge of Dock Levelers might be the solution you've been searching for! Here are some key features and benefits: ✅ Space-Saving Design: Edge of Dock Levelers are ideal for facilities with limited space, as they mount directly to the edge of the dock. ✅ Cost-Effective Solution: Compared to pit levelers, Edge of Dock Levelers are typically more affordable to install and maintain, making them a budget-friendly choice for many businesses. ✅ Easy Installation: With their simple installation process, Edge of Dock Levelers can be quickly mounted to existing dock structures, minimizing downtime and disruption to operations. 📏 Dock Height Considerations: Dock height is a critical factor in selecting the right loading dock equipment. Edge of Dock Levelers are typically suitable for docks with a consistent height, typically at 48-50". It's essential to ensure that the dock height aligns with the expected trailer heights to ensure seamless loading and unloading operations. When considering Edge of Dock solutions, we recommend a service range of 3" above and 3" below dock height. Anything greater, Pit Levelers should be considered! 🚛 Expected Trailer Heights: Edge of Dock Levelers are designed to service trailers 3" above and 3" below dock height. It's crucial to consider the typical trailer heights used in your facility's operations to determine if Edge of Dock Levelers are the right choice for your loading dock needs. While Edge of Dock Levelers offer numerous benefits, there are situations where a pit leveler may be the more suitable choice. Pit levelers are often preferred for facilities with high-volume loading operations or specialized loading requirements. Pit levelers have a service range of 12" above and 12" below dock! Additionally, pit levelers provide a level surface with the surrounding floor, offering seamless access for forklifts and other material handling equipment. Ultimately, the decision between Edge of Dock Levelers and pit levelers depends on factors such as space availability, budget constraints, dock height, service range and specific loading needs. 🔍 If you're unsure which option is right for your facility, our team at Stokes Equipment Company is here to help!

🚚🍳 Good morning from Savannah, where our dedicated fleet safety team kicked off their day with a safety breakfast. It’s not just about starting the day with good food; it’s about emphasizing the critical role of fleet safety at Thomas Concrete. Why is fleet safety so paramount? Consider this: a standard mixer truck, when fully loaded, can weigh over 60,000 lbs and measures about 30 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 13 feet high. Navigating such a massive vehicle safely demands meticulous maintenance and regular safety checks. This is why our fleet mechanics focus on preventative maintenance, and our Concrete Delivery Professionals conduct thorough pre- and post-trip checks daily, ensuring everything from fluids and tires to brakes, chutes, lights, and horns are in top condition. Our goal is simple: every member of #TeamThomas should return home in as good or better shape than when they left for work in the morning. It’s a commitment that drives every decision we make and every action we take in the realm of fleet safety. How does your team prioritize fleet safety and well-being? Share your best practices in the comments. #FleetSafety #SafetyFirst #NationalSafetyMonth
