Loading Dock Equipment Service for Chicago-Area Facilities
A loading dock only works when every piece of equipment does. DDS provides dock equipment installation, loading dock equipment repair and ongoing service for warehouses, distribution centres and industrial sites in Addison and across the Chicago area. We keep your dock safe, compliant and moving, with 24/7 emergency support when a failure would stop shipments.
Dock Leveler Repair and Dock Door Installation
Dock leveler repair: hydraulic, mechanical, vertical and edge-of-dock levelers can wear or fail with heavy use. We diagnose the fault, repair or replace the damaged parts and test the leveler before handing it back.
Dock door installation: we install overhead dock doors sized for your openings and trucks, matched to your seals and shelters.
Dock seals and shelters: seals and shelters keep out weather, pests and dust and cut energy loss at the dock. We install and replace worn units.
Loading Dock Maintenance
Planned loading dock maintenance reduces breakdowns and extends the life of levelers, doors, restraints and seals. We inspect, lubricate and adjust equipment on a schedule that suits your operation and report anything that needs attention before it becomes a failure. For multi-site operators, we offer dock equipment service across Chicago and the surrounding suburbs.
