Modular buildings are a smart way to optimize and consolidate space. Modular systems are cost effective, easy to install and offer unlimited flexibility in a variety of industries, including: manufacturing, distribution, education, government and healthcare. Unlike traditional walls, modular systems disassemble and rearrange easily without the mess and disruption of construction. Applications range from single-level modular offices to multi-level complexes with fully integrated mezzanine systems.

LED lights have come a long way since the first known report of light-emitting solid-state diode in 1907. Expensive laboratory and electronics test equipment were among the first practical uses of LEDs (light-emitting diode). As technology became more advanced and light output increased, bright illumination from LED became useful for a variety of lighting applications, including Stop & Go lights for loading docks. LED lights save energy, maintenance costs and fixture down time. Plus the durable polycarbonate housing won’t rust, pit or dent.

What is Light-Emitting Diode?

Working in the restaurant industry can be a pain – literally. The strain of carrying trays, lifting plates from food windows, bending to clean booth cracks and walking oddly to avoid slipping is near backbreaking. 

One of the most common and painful incidents is a hard fall on the kitchen floor. All it takes is one melted ice cube or a slosh of soda – and boom – you’re down for the count. That’s why safety mats are a necessity for wet and slippery environments. The Safety Stance rubber mat has large openings to allow liquids and debris to drain through for a dry standing surface. It’s also thick enough to provide maximum anti-fatigue relief.

Besides the yearly wear docks endure during docking operations, the heights of trucks have changed over time. Edge dock levelers are used when a truck’s height doesn’t match the dock equipment.

The Edge-O-Dock Leveler saves valuable floor space and permanently attaches to docks for immediate use. These levelers never get lost or stolen and eliminate pinched fingers and toes. Dock levelers are available in either mechanical, hand pump hydraulic or electric models. For more information about dock levelers contact us! We’ll put you in touch with one of our Material Handling professionals.
