Dock design and management appears to be simple: Just figure out how many dock doors you need outside the building and how much staging you need inside the building, and you’re good to go.

But, as David Dziwis, a project manager with St. Onge explains, there are still important considerations and best practices to designing and operating successfully at the dock.

Dock Management

In the second of two episodes sponsored by the dock specialists Rite-Hite, Dziwis details some of the best practices essential to a successful dock design and to safe and efficient operations.   

This is a must episode for anyone designing a new facility or looking to improve their dock operations. And, for more information on dock operations, be sure to visit Rite-Hite.
