Loading Docks

Industrial Loading Dock Solutions

Textured Non-Skid Epoxy Coatings for Maximum Safety & Durability

The Loading Dock Challenge

Loading docks represent one of the most demanding environments in any industrial or commercial facility. These high-traffic areas face constant abuse from heavy machinery, forklifts, pallet jacks, and the dragging and dropping of heavy materials. Add in the potential for oil spills, chemical exposure, and varying weather conditions, and you have a surface that requires exceptional protection.

At Epoxy Central, we understand that loading dock failures aren't just inconvenient—they're dangerous and costly. That's why we've developed our premium Textured Non-Skid Epoxy system specifically engineered for these challenging environments.

• Helps prevent costly slip-and-fall accidents and worker's compensation claims
• Customizable texture levels to meet specific safety requirements and ADA compliance

Unmatched Durability

• Withstands extreme point loading from heavy equipment and material staging
• Resists impact damage from dropped items and equipment
• Exceptional abrasion resistance against constant wheel traffic
• Stands up to the harshest cleaning protocols and maintenance routines

Chemical & Environmental Protection

• Impervious to automotive fluids, hydraulic oils, and common industrial chemicals
• Weather-resistant formulation for both interior and exterior applications
• Prevents moisture penetration and concrete deterioration
• Protects against freeze/thaw damage in varying climates

Visual Safety Enhancement
