Truck Dock Details

Many building types could benefit from a dedicated receiving area with a dock. Shipping often entails multiple docks, but almost all buildings receive packages and material deliveries. A dock that can accommodate an over the road truck is the subject here. These drawings show how you might document the truck dock in plan, elevation and section. 

These drawings would need to be supplemented by specifications describing the actual equipment that is intended to be used. 

It is easy to design a truck dock that looks good but doesn't work very well. The manufacturer's representative of a dock equipment fabricator can be invaluable in making decisions that avoid an ineffective design.

A commentary on Truck Dock Design can be found here.
