How to protect your product and docks from rain.

Here in Northern NJ we experience a great deal of rain during the year. Hurricane Irene came and went. Luckily most loading docks were out of service for the weekend. However, those that were working may have experienced slippery conditions due to rain-water blowing in off the trailer roof. In some cases, customers have a "decline" dock (trailer slopes to the loading dock) which compounds the issue.

In any of these cases, Arbon has an excellent solution: RAINGUARD by Frommelt.
The Rainguard effectively eliminates rain water from flowing off the top of the trailer onto your dock, personell and product.

Click the video below to see the rainguard in action...

Dock Sealing Shelters for Step Back Trucks and Trailers











When sealing a Step-Back Truck/Trailer (step or lift-gate that extends from the back of vehicle) you must consider the door size, the projection of the "step" and the size of the vehicle. Once this data has been collected a custom built shelter can be constructed.

Frommelt Industries, a Rite-Hite Company, manufactures the ideal solution to this challenge.


The "Combo-Shelter". This product has the ability to seal these types of trailers/trucks with great success. Another benefit is the soft-sided framework, able to absorb off-center trailer impacts without damage.

The pictures shown are from a liquor distributor in Northern NJ. This customer needed to have a tight seal in order to maintain warehouse temperature and keep employees comfortable when the weather is inclement. The challenge was a step-backed delivery truck (pictured) and the installation was successful.

Choose a dock lift for flexibility.



When you need access to a wide variety of dock heights and loading situations, choose a dock lift.


Dock lifts give you instant access to everything between grade and dock height (including ocean containers).



We satisfied the demands of a leading casket distributor by providing access to low vans and hearses as well as 53' over the road trailers. The trailers leave the manufacturing facility and drop a few caskets at each stop. This particular local distribution facility will service local funeral homes that will only purchase one or two caskets at a time. They needed safe access to all the vehicles inbound and outbound.

Our partner lift company is Advance Lifts They provided the Model "T" dock lift 8' wide x 8' long with an extended front bridge.

We provided a turn-key job with 10" diameter bollards (trailer stoppers) and a fiber reinforced concrete pad.

Fall protection systems, don't fall for junk.




Fall protection has become a hot topic lately as OSHA's guidelines have become more stringent and lawsuits more common.



Industrial plants need to consider safer procedures for high work. However, it is important to consider the usefullness of the products that are considered.


One system that has been field proven is Fall Protection System's triple truss trolley system, pictured. This system is awesome for a fixed position application, such as tanker trailers and train cars. A retractable lanyard is the secret to this type of system.


We can combine quality products like these pictured to offer a turn-key solution to your fall protection problems.

Planned maintenance for docks and doors...



When times are tough, like now, it's crucial to buckle down and contain costs. This includes eliminating or putting off planned maintenance on equipment not recognized as directly related to the finished product or service. When a year or two goes by and nothing breaks, accounting departments can point to the decision and claim victory. However, facilities personel and maintenance planners know better.
(damaged dock leveler hinge pin pictured)


What no one sees is the slow degradation of key parts; contaminated oil eating at O-Rings, unlubricated pins being ground down, cables fraying, etc...

When the economy bounces back, bring your PMs back into the calendar, you won't be sorry.
