Frequently Asked Questions
What is the slope of a loading dock ramp?
The slope of a loading dock ramp depends on the space available and the workload it can handle. For heavy loads, the slope should be no more than 5%. In tight areas with limited space, the slope can be a maximum of 10% but should only be used for light loads.
What is a standard loading dock height?
The standard loading dock height in the U.S. is 48”, which allows them to accommodate standard shipping containers. However, some loading docks may be up to 55” high to allow for different tractor-trailer dimensions.
What is a depressed loading dock?
A depressed loading dock features a downward-sloping driveway to provide access to buildings with basement loading docks or different dock levels. Depressed loading docks are also referred to as pit docks.
