What Is a Dock Package?
A dock package is everything that makes a loading dock work: levelers, overhead doors, seals and shelters, vehicle restraints, lights, and controls, engineered as one system. The dock is where your building meets every truck, and it is the most abused fifty square feet in the facility.
Docks fail as systems, not parts: a leveler rated below your pallet-jack loads, a door that fights the seal, a missing restraint. MTLI delivers the dock as one engineered scope, from concrete to controls.
What a Complete Dock Package Includes
Dock levelers
Hydraulic, mechanical, and vertical-storing levelers matched to your loads and trailer mix.
Overhead doors
Sectional and high-speed doors sized for traffic, security, and energy.
Seals and shelters
Weather sealing that protects product, energy costs, and people.
Vehicle restraints
Trailer restraints and communication lights that prevent the industry's worst accidents.
Dock safety systems
Barriers, lights, and controls interlocked so mistakes cannot become injuries.
Concrete and steel
Pit work, approaches, bollards, and structural steel self-performed by MTLI crews.

Common Questions, Answered
What does a new dock position cost?
Cutting a new position into an existing wall with leveler, door, seal, and restraint typically lands under $100K per position, varying with structure and site. We quote from a site walk, not a brochure.
Can you add docks to an operating building?
Yes, wall cuts and pit work phase around your shipping schedule, with containment protecting product and people.
Which brands do you install?
We are brand-agnostic across 500+ manufacturer partners, so equipment is matched to duty cycle and budget rather than one maker's line.
Do you service docks after installation?
Yes, doors and levelers are core to our preventative maintenance programs, with emergency response options.
