The Challenge:

Our client, a prominent Canadian retail company based in Ontario, was experiencing issues with one of their mechanical loading docks. The structural integrity of the steel frame was compromised due to rust, and the lip assembly frequently became stuck. The lip, a crucial component of the loading dock, had become a significant safety hazard. Employees resorted to manually pushing the lip into place — creating the risk of serious injuries.

The Solution:

Recognizing the urgent need for a solution, the client contacted Wilcox Door Service. Our skilled technicians completed a comprehensive assessment of both loading docks.

Our assessment revealed extensive deterioration that could not be repaired. We recommended complete replacement of both mechanical loading docks to ensure long-term reliability and safety.
