Your loading dock is the backbone of your business. When something goes wrong with it, it puts your business at a standstill. Since 2004, the team at NEX Industrial has offered loading dock services throughout the Greater Toronto Area, from start to finish. This includes design and build services of loading docks as well as maintenance and repairs of existing dock equipment. A live person is available at (866) 400-2050, 24 hours a day, to take your call.
Every business has different needs. We service a variety of businesses including distribution centers in Brampton, cold storage facilities in Mississauga, and manufacturing plants in Vaughan. Our commitment is to keep your trucks moving, your products protected and your employees safe.
The dock is the starting point for deliveries. We service the whole dock: the pit and the pad, levellers, dock restraints, seals and shelters, dock doors and dock safety equipment.
Our passion is to serve. Give us a call. We look forward to serving you.
Our construction division lets you skip the middleman. We take your project from concept to completion, so a new or expanded dock is done right the first time.
Our in-house crews handle:
We begin by understanding how you actually ship. We look at the trailers you receive, how many trucks arrive per shift, what you load and the temperature you need to hold. We consider all this to determine the pit depth, leveler capacity and seal or shelter choice to make sure the finished dock fits your operation.
NEX supplies and installs a full range of loading dock equipment from trusted manufacturers. Our technicians are trained for installation and safety, so every piece goes in level, anchored and working the way it should.
Hydraulic dock levelers that bridge the gap between your dock and the trailer bed, sized for your load capacity and traffic.
Mechanical, electric and hydraulic restraints that lock trailers in place and help prevent early departure and trailer creep.
Door shelters, inflatable shelters and rain shrouds that close the gap around the trailer to keep out weather, pests and drafts.
Sectional, rolling steel, high-speed and heavy-duty rubber dock doors built for constant cycling.
Xcluder® dock leveler seals, pull chain seals, vertical side and top seals, and door bottom seals.
Safeguard® Hi-Traction® anti-slip products, signage and railings.
Energy savings can help offset the cost. Upgraded door seals and shelters may qualify for utility rebates, and our team can tell you what applies to your project.
Unplanned downtime costs money in lost shipments, pay for idle staff, overtime and emergency repair costs. Our Preventative Maintenance Programs (PMP) help catch small problems before they shut a door down, and are the most cost-effective loading dock services you can purchase.
Each program is built around your equipment and your volume. We recommend inspections at least twice a year; more frequent inspections are recommended for facilities with multiple shifts and/or high truck counts. At each visit, our technicians will:
That report does more than guide repairs. It documents your due diligence on workplace safety, which matters when an inspector or insurer asks how your dock equipment is maintained. It also helps you budget, because you can see which equipment is wearing out long before it fails.
A leveler that won't raise, a restraint that won't engage or a door that's off its track needs a fix today, not next week. Our technicians arrive equipped with the proper tools and the main parts and components, so most repairs are completed on the first visit.
We repair and supply parts for:
One client came to us after a year of failed attempts by other companies to fix a dock leveler, where replacement was the only suggestion they'd been given. Our technician was on site within two days, found the real problem and repaired it at an affordable price. When repair truly isn't the smart choice, we'll tell you plainly and quote a replacement that fits your dock.
Dock failures don't keep business hours, and neither do we. When you call NEX at any hour, a live person answers, never a voicemail. A service technician is dispatched and arrives on site within 4 hours.
Our emergency loading dock services cover:
Toronto winters are especially hard on dock equipment. Freezing temperatures thicken hydraulic fluid, ice builds up in leveler pits, and seals stiffen and crack. A fast response keeps a cold snap from turning into a shutdown, and we keep you informed from the moment you call until the job is closed.
Call 24/7: (866) 400-2050A loading dock is a dangerous mixing zone for forklifts, trucks, and pedestrians, especially when combined with outside drivers who do not know your facility. We work with your team to develop a plan to secure the loading dock by utilizing various signage, railings, vehicle restraints, and interlocks to enforce a correct sequence of operation to prevent a door from opening and/or a leveler from being used before the trailer is properly secured.
Our professional evaluations consider many aspects of your dock including safety, the flow of product, security and the comfort of your employees, and identify improvements that will have the most impact on your dock. Additionally, we share our knowledge of health and safety regulations and best practices so your team can maintain the dock between our visits.
From a single leveler repair to a full multi-door dock build, NEX Industrial delivers loading dock services that keep your operation moving. Call (866) 400-2050, available 24/7, or request a quote and a specialist will help you plan the next step.
