LoadHog(TM) Bred To Heavier Capacity!


The LoadHog modular dock bridge, originally released in late 2004, has been wildly successful with a huge impact on the loading dock industry, and as the result of a continuous improvement process, LoadHog keeps getting better. Now with a capacity of 15,000 lbs. gross vehicle weight (GVW), LoadHog is roughly comparable to a 40,000 lbs. capacity pit leveler, providing even more applications with No Pit, No Pour, No Problem!

LoadHog is easier to install, easier to operate, provides superior environmental control, superior sanitary and rodent control, improves loss prevention and provides a lower total cost of ownership than conventional solutions.

LoadHog is a modular dock bridge designed to span the gap between the warehouse and the trailer that mounts to the warehouse floor using only four heavy-duty anchor bolts and requires no concrete work. The bumper block assembly attaches to the face of the dock with four anchors per bumper.

LoadHog stores inside the warehouse and allows the dock door to close tight against the floor, minimizing energy loss and the threat of employee theft. No concrete pit means no sanitary issues related to debris or rodents. Also...LoadHog provides greater protection against accidental forklift run-off.

Models are available in 5', 6' and 7' widths and one standard length. The deck length, combined with the lip and bumpers, allows access to a large range of trailers including refrigerated and container trucks. LoadHog's unique arc design and raised side housings provides structural integrity that can withstand 3-wheel and 4-wheel forklift traffic and heavy loads. The 17" pre-ramp allows smooth transition from the warehouse floor to the deck and is easily replaceable should it ever be damaged.
