Engineered Concrete Docks for Heavy Use

A cracked or uneven loading dock doesn’t just cause damage—it slows down your entire operation. That’s why every loading dock concrete Beaumont TX project we handle is engineered for heavy use and long-term reliability.

We install industrial dock slab installation using 6–8" reinforced concrete with extra support under trailer gear and forklift paths. Each slab is built to match your facility’s load requirements, align with your docks, and manage drainage properly.

Custom Dock Solutions for Your Operations

Our forklift-rated dock slab TX installations start with 6–8 inches of reinforced concrete. We apply heavier reinforcement in high-impact zones—especially under trailer landing gear, forklift approach paths, and where heavy machinery operates. These slabs are engineered not just for weight, but for frequency of use and long-term wear.

To ensure strength and continuity, we embed rebar grids or fiber mesh and tie new concrete into the existing floor using doweled connections and control joints. This creates a stable transition that resists cracking and supports efficient movement between dock and warehouse. It’s a critical part of avoiding slab separation and damage in high-traffic operations.

Not every facility operates on a standard 48-inch dock height. We build loading docks to match the fleet—whether you’re working with step decks, lowboys, or lift-gate trucks. Our customized slopes and edge transitions allow for smooth trailer access, leveler integration, and improved loading efficiency, all while reducing wear on your equipment and minimizing the risk of accidents.

Dock-Leveler Integration and Apron Reinforcement

Compatibility with loading equipment is non-negotiable. That’s why we design each loading dock to work with your dock levelers, lift gates, and material handling systems. We install poured-in-place sleeves for mechanical anchors, edge-of-dock leveler supports, and pit-mounted cut-outs when your facility uses recessed gear. Every component is positioned precisely to meet manufacturer specs, so your equipment installs cleanly and functions without extra modifications.

We also coordinate slab elevations and bolt patterns with outfitting vendors. This allows for seamless connection to dock bumpers, trailer guides, and ramp transitions. From pour to install, your system will be aligned, safe, and ready to handle incoming freight.

Our concrete truck apron contractor services focus on safety and performance. We pour reinforced concrete aprons strong enough to support semi-trailers, yard spotters, and daily equipment traffic. These aprons are shaped with turning radii in mind and include mounts for bumpers and bollards where needed.

Drainage matters, especially under constant use. We slope every slab away from the dock face and offer trench drain or catch basin systems to keep water moving away from the loading zone. This protects the slab from erosion, reduces slip hazards, and extends the life of your dock surface.
