Overhead Door Track Protector
A 48″-high steel guard set in front of the vertical track of an overhead door. A bent track is one of the more expensive dock repairs because the door is out of service until it is fixed, and the damage usually comes from a forklift clipping the track rather than a direct hit. Formed from 3/16″ steel on a 1/4″ baseplate with 7″ standard clearance, up to 14″ on request, in left- and right-hand versions.

An all-welded steel gate that pivots across the dock opening when no trailer is docked, standing 42″ high so it reads as a barrier rather than a trip rail. It mounts over a 6″ × 42″ bollard, which means the bollard takes any impact instead of the gate hinge. Supplied in 5 ft to 14 ft widths in 1 ft increments, single or paired for wide openings.
- Height: 42″ (OSHA guardrail height)
- Widths: 5 ft to 14 ft in 1 ft increments
- Construction: All-welded steel
- Mounting: Over a 6″ × 42″ bollard
The heaviest barrier in the dock range, rated by the manufacturer at 30,000 lbs at 4 mph — an order of magnitude above interior guardrail, because a loaded truck reversing at a dock edge carries far more energy than an aisle strike. Built on 5″ steel posts with 12″ × 12″ × 5/8″ offset base plates and 1″ pins, with a sliding locking plate and no pinch points. Clearances of 8, 10 and 12 ft.
- Impact rating: 30,000 lbs at 4 mph (manufacturer-stated)
- Height: 42″
- Posts: 5″ steel on 12″ × 12″ × 5/8″ offset base plates
- Clearances: 8 ft · 10 ft · 12 ft
A vertical-lift barrier that rises straight up rather than swinging, for openings where there is no floor space for a gate arc. Air assist takes the weight so it can be raised one-handed, and aluminium rails keep the moving section light while the carbon steel posts carry the load. The 42″ top rail meets OSHA guardrail height when lowered.
- Action: Vertical lift, air-assisted
- Posts: Carbon steel, 4.5″ × 2″
- Rails: Aluminium, 1.5″
- Top rail: 42″ (OSHA guardrail height)
