Towns we cover from Lansford
Our crews travel from Lansford to facilities in Summit Hill, Nesquehoning, Tamaqua, Jim Thorpe and Lehighton. We also take jobs in Hazleton and in Rush, West Penn, Mahoning and East Penn. If your building sits somewhere between those places, ask us when you call. Most of the time the answer is yes.
Distance does not change how we work. A dock leveler in Hazleton gets the same inspection as one down the street from us. We check the pit, the hinge, the lip and the hydraulics or springs, then we put it all in writing. Travel time shows up on the quote as its own line, so you see it plainly instead of finding it buried in labor.
What we see at docks across the area
- 01
Older buildings, newer trailers
Many facilities here are older buildings with docks set up years ago. Pit levelers and dock plates were often sized for trailer heights that have since changed. We measure your dock height and the trailers you actually receive before we recommend a repair or a new leveler.
- 02
Cold, snow and road salt
Winters bring snow, ice and plenty of road salt. Salt and slush ride in on trailers and sit on leveler decks and in overhead door tracks. Cold thickens hydraulic fluid and stiffens seals. A fall preventative maintenance visit catches worn seals, slow levelers and tired springs before the first hard freeze, which means less downtime in January.
- 03
Freeze and thaw at the dock face
Freeze and thaw cycles crack concrete at the dock face and along the approach. Bent curb angles and torn bumpers usually show up there first. We note that damage on the written quote, so you know what is going on and can plan for it.
- 04
Permits and inspections
Rules differ from one borough or township to the next. Repairs and like-for-like swaps often need nothing extra. New equipment, structural pit work or a new door opening may need a permit. We check with the local office before the job and list any permit cost on the quote, not on the final bill.
