Dock leveler pits in Phoenix plants and warehouses take the impact of every forklift that crosses into a trailer. Over time, the concrete edges of the pit break, the curb angle comes loose and the slab around the leveler cracks. Then the leveler doesn't sit right and the bump gets worse with every load. We rebuild the damaged concrete around levelers, scheduled around your dock so it's back in service fast.
When You Need Dock Leveler Pits Repaired
You need pit repair when the concrete at the pit edge has broken or spalled, when the steel edge angle is loose or exposed, when there are cracks running out from the pit corners, or when forklifts take a hard bump crossing onto the leveler.
Don't let it go. A broken pit edge keeps breaking under every forklift, it can damage the leveler itself, and a hard bump is rough on loads and drivers.
Pit damage usually starts at the front edge, where the leveler lip rests and forklift wheels hit hardest, and at the corners, where cracks spread out into the dock slab. If the slab around the pit has also sunk, the leveler may not sit flush at the dock floor anymore.
Our Dock Leveler Pits Process
We walk the dock, check the pit edges and the slab around the leveler, and coordinate with whoever services your leveler if it needs to be lifted or adjusted. You get a written bid within 24 hours.
On the job, we sawcut and remove the broken concrete, prep the area, set new rebar where it's needed and rebuild the pit edges and surrounding slab. We use rapid-set or high-early material so the dock can be back in service in 24 to 72 hours instead of a week, and we can schedule the work on a weekend or between shifts.
If several doors have the same problem, we can do them one or two at a time so the rest of the dock keeps running. Each door is closed only as long as its own repair needs to set.
We'll also look at the dock apron outside the door while we're there. A broken pit edge often comes with a broken dock apron, and fixing both in one visit saves a second closure.
Dock Leveler Pits Cost in Phoenix
Cost depends on how much of the pit edge and slab is damaged, whether the edge steel needs work, how the leveler has to be handled during the repair, the material used and when the work has to happen.
You get a written bid listing every step, and the price is fixed to that scope.
Bring your leveler service company into the loop early if the leveler needs to be lifted or adjusted, and we'll schedule around them.
