Wheel Risers


Wheel risers allow trucks and semi-trailers to be positioned properly above loading docks, eliminate unsafe below dock loading conditions, reduce damage to loading dock equipment and provide more efficient loading and unloading of freight.

Wheel risers can be portable or permanently positioned. Manufactured in both steel and aluminum they come in a variety of sizes, both length and width as well as capacities that start at 40,000 lbs.
