Protect Overhead Door Tracks from Forklift and Cargo Damage
Loading dock door tracks can take repeated impact from forklifts, pallet jacks, carts, cargo, and daily warehouse traffic. Over time, this damage can create door operation problems, increase repair costs, and even make dock bays unusable until repairs are completed.
Dock track protectors create a strong barrier around vulnerable door tracks. As a result, they help reduce maintenance costs, protect overhead door operation, and support safer traffic flow around busy loading dock areas.
The Standing Guard floor-mounted track guard/protector is always in stock at our Central Ohio locations. In addition, Action Industrial Services can help with custom sizes and designs when your facility needs a more specific solution.
