Why Add a Serco S900DD Dry Dock System in Your Loading Dock Facility in Farmville, NC?

Commercial and industrial buildings and warehouses contain a loading Dock or loading bay. Just as the name implies, a loading Dock is where vehicles that deliver goods are loaded and unloaded. There are three kinds of loading docks---fully enclosed, flush with the building envelope, or exterior.

Loading Docks are vulnerable to danger. These include forklifts that get in and out of truck trailers that make sharp turns to avoid staged pallet loads, open doors that lead to 3-foot drops to the driveway and stacked pallets that can drop on passersby. The worst among these is the danger of Dock floors that are wet or slick.

Twenty-five percent of accidents lead to injuries in Docks. Thus, loading docks are considered as a danger zone. "Slips and falls accounted for 34 percent of workers' compensation claims, putting these incidents as the second leading cause for claims," according to the University of Wisconsin at Stevens Point. 

These accidents connected with loading dock have claims that reach up to $6.6 billion yearly, according to the 2007 data of Liberty Mutual Safety Index. Research showed that the number of injuries related to slips and falls increases even though there was a decrease in the incidence of other injuries. 

Reasons Why A Serco S-900DD Drydock Seal System Should Be Added in a Loading Dock Facility

1. Moisture-free. The Serco S-900DD Drydock Seal System utilizes a wiper pad to keep external moisture and rain out of the loading/unloading area. This pad keeps the trailer at the door. This Serco dry dock system does not require high maintenance.

What is a Dock Seal and Its Types?

What is a dock seal?

Dock seals are made up of foam pads wherein the trailer compresses back when it comes to rest against the dock bumpers and it forms into a seal around the three sides of the trailer.

Dock seals are best used when there is a slight difference in the size and style of trailers that are being served.

How Dock Seals Contribute in Pharmaceutical, Refrigeration and Storage in Food Industry Facilities in Charlotte, North Carolina

Loading docks have played a vital role in the food industry that most people are not aware of. The food industry includes agriculture, manufacturing, food processing, pharmaceutical, wholesale and food distribution, and others, which means that this industry takes one of the major roles in making a country’s economy growth and prosperity.  

Overhead Door Company of Charlotte, a loading dock company with 35 years of loading dock experience, understands the docking industry more than others. To ensure quality service and commitment, Overhead Door Company of Charlotte has developed and designed another product of its  own—DOCK SEALS.

Dock seals are the pads that create a tight seal and protection between the trailer and the dock bumpers. When the trailer makes an unloading/loading of its products and have to back in against the docking bumpers, dock seals cover and protect the gap in between the docking bumper and the trailer truck.    

Some dock seals are not capable of delivering the sealing between the trailer and dock bumpers, but Overhead Door Company of Charlotte’s dock seal encloses the open gap space against unwelcome outside elements like insects, dirt and dust, wind, and even snow and unwanted temperature changes like heat and cold temperatures.

Most warehouse managers hardly notice what happens unknowingly to their products upon delivery and it will already be too late to realize the cost of the damages that had been done. The penetration of outside elements like insects, dirt and dust, and others damages the sensitive products (agricultural products, fruits and vegetables, and others) either by spoilage or direct contamination which is a totally unfortunate issue. Moreover, temperature-sensitive products like medical products, meats, and others would be spoiled and harmed due to the rapid change of its environmental processing, which creates company loss.

Overhead Door Company of Charlotte’s dock seals are equipped with compression seals between the trailer vehicle and dock bumpers to achieve an efficient and effective quality seal. Company losses due to unknown causes of damaged delivered products do not make a good excuse report especially for top corporate levels, so never take for granted small issues that are capable of creating big losses.
