MyDock Speed-Lift
This self-contained loading dock lift provides a permanent or temporary solution for truck-to-ground operations. Featuring capacities from 6,000 to 8,000 lbs, its cantilever design enables 33 FPM travel speed with automatic folding ramps for safety. The low-profile unit installs without pits or permits, making it ideal for facilities lacking traditional docks while maintaining full-load ratings across the entire platform.
Forklift Pro
Engineered for seated forklift operation, this 10,000-15,000 lb capacity system combines durability with operational efficiency. Its surface-mounted design withstands direct truck impacts without additional protection, featuring variable-speed hydraulics for controlled movement. The 4-inch low-profile platform with nonskid surfaces meets ANSI MH29.1 standards, offering reliable performance in industrial environments requiring frequent heavy-load handling.
CrossDock System
This combination dock lift and leveler handles 6,000-8,000 lb loads between standard dock heights and ground level. With automatic folding ramps on one end and hydraulic bumpers on both sides, it accommodates varying truck positions while maintaining safety. The system's versatility allows installation as a primary dock or adjacent to existing facilities, reducing infrastructure requirements through its patented cantilever mechanism.
Forklift Max
The industry's most robust dock solution handles up to 25,000 lbs with specialized forklift operation capabilities. Designed for aerospace and heavy manufacturing applications, its six-cylinder hydraulic system ensures stability during large load transfers. The 4-inch profile maintains safety compliance while its modular design allows reconfiguration for evolving facility needs, supported by a comprehensive 15-year structural warranty.
MobileDock Lift
This street-legal, diesel-powered unit provides mobile loading capabilities with 6,000 lb capacity. Certified for road use, it serves emergency operations and temporary sites while maintaining full functionality as a cargo trailer transporting up to 2,000 lbs. The self-contained system features automatic folding ramps and meets all applicable FMVSS standards for safety and reliability in field operations.
Questions
What makes Speed-Lift different from traditional loading docks?
Speed-Lift systems eliminate construction requirements through surface-mounted designs that anchor to flat concrete, avoiding pits, permits, and excavation while offering faster installation and relocation capabilities.
Can Speed-Lift handle heavy industrial use?
Engineered for durability, our lifts withstand 25+ years of daily operation with capacities from 6,000 to 25,000 lbs, featuring reinforced steel frames and hydraulic systems designed for continuous industrial applications.
Are Speed-Lift systems safe for forklift operations?
Patented Automatic Folding Ramps and full-platform load ratings ensure safety during forklift use, with impact-resistant designs that withstand direct truck collisions without additional protection structures.
How quickly can a Speed-Lift be installed?
Most units install in hours rather than weeks since they require no construction—simply level, anchor, and connect power for immediate operation at any facility with concrete surfaces.
What warranty coverage do Speed-Lift products have?
We offer industry-leading warranties including 15-year structural coverage, 5-year parts protection, and 2-year labor guarantees, reflecting confidence in our products' durability and performance.
Can Speed-Lift systems operate in different weather conditions?
Engineered for all-weather performance, our systems feature corrosion-resistant components and non-skid surfaces that maintain functionality in extreme temperatures and precipitation environments.
