Planning and Design Services
Design safe, efficient and compliant loading docks.
Poor design leads to serious accidents, inefficient operations, high compliance costs, and affects your supply chain. With the industry constantly evolving—larger vehicles, air suspension, just-in-time deliveries—a one-size-fits-all approach is no longer enough. Our experts accompany you from the educational presentation to the final validation of the technical plans, integrating the evaluation of your operations, the analysis of the applicable standards (Labour Code, NF EN 1398 standards, INRS ED 6059) and the recommendation of optimal solutions adapted to your operational reality.
Plan today to ensure facilities that meet the needs of today and tomorrow.
Why plan with our experts?

- Assessing your operational needs - In-depth analysis of your type of operations, material handling equipment and operational challenges to recommend the most suitable solutions.
- Technical Specification Validation - Evaluating your plans to determine dock height, door size, capacities, types of leveling bridges, sealing pads, retaining hooks, and communication systems.
- Design in accordance with standards - Assurance that each technical choice meets a real need and respects the Labour Code and industry standards.
- Complete support - From the initial design to the final specifications, we guarantee compliant, safe and efficient installations for today and tomorrow.
Your questions about our solutions
A redesign is necessary when your facilities no longer meet current safety standards, equipment is obsolete or faulty, your operations have evolved (new vehicles, increased volume), or regulatory non-compliances have been identified during inspections. An expert assessment determines the needs.
Good design ensures worker safety by preventing falls and crushings, optimizes the efficiency of loading operations, ensures compliance with regulatory standards, reduces operational costs, and allows facilities to adapt to future developments in the transportation and logistics industry.
Essential equipment includes leveling bridges (hydraulic, pneumatic or mechanical), restraint hooks to secure trucks, dock bumpers, sealing pads for thermal insulation, visual communication systems, protective barriers and adequate lighting for all operations.
Effective planning requires analyzing the volume and type of cargo, identifying the vehicles used, assessing the space available for shunting, considering applicable regulatory standards, forecasting material handling equipment, and anticipating future needs by consulting with dock design experts.
