Warehouse Moving in Colorado Springs

Both docks need a plan. We check dock height and whether the levelers work, whether the plates will take a loaded pallet jack, the truck court's turning room, and how many doors we can use at once. Your building contacts confirm floor and dock ratings. A grade-level door, with no dock at all, changes how pallets come off a box truck, so we plan liftgate unloading or break pallets down to carts where needed.

One zone per truck usually works well. The old dock loads zone A while zone B stays pickable. The new dock receives zone A, your team counts it and puts it away, and then the next truck arrives. The installer building your new storage structure works ahead of us, and their inspection sign-off should be done before stock arrives. If a property wants a certificate of insurance before dock access, tell us which names to list. Weekend dock time is possible on request.

Pallet damage happens at edges and corners, so we check each pallet's wrap and base before it moves. A broken deck board or a torn wrap goes to your inventory lead to rewrap, repalletize, or set aside before loading. Loose cartons ride in zone groups on dollies, and zone groups never share a truck without a strap and a visible divider.

At the new dock, every pallet lands in the staging lane your receiving supervisor marks, not in the aisles. Your team checks it against the count sheet before put-away, and any shortage or damaged carton gets resolved while the zone is still together on the floor. Benches, scales, and office pieces follow once the stock is in, so the dock stays clear for the next truck.
