The XDS features our flagship hydraulics, safety guard, vehicle restraint, high visibility communication package and tough I-Beam dock leveler construction.

DOCK LEVELER
- A –series aggressive usage hydraulic dock leveler with maintained tilt
DOCK LEVELERS HYDRAULIC
A-series aggressive usage dock levelers feature a maintained tilt design, which extends the dock equipment life. This exclusive feature provides reduced point loading to the deck and lip, reducing deck fatigue and stressors, forklift damage and dock transition jolts. Heavy-duty I-Beam construction provides one of the highest strength ratios in the industry. Key features include high tensile steel, maintained tilt, hydraulic fall safe, CSA- and/or UL-approved components and maintenance strut.
DOCK LEVELERS MECHANICAL
A-Series aggressive usage dock leveler with maintained tilt, offers excellent value. Pull the release chain to operate, and let Blue Giant's heavy-duty lift springs do the work. The deck rises while the lip smoothly powers out to the locked position. Simply walk the deck down onto the truck bed and begin loading. On truck departure, the lip automatically releases and lowers allowing the unit to be returned to the cross-traffic position. Key features include high tensile steel, maintained tilt, I-Beam deck construction, patented lip actuator, mechanical fall-safe and maintenance strut.
VERTICAL STORING
I-Beam Construction
30,000 to 40,000 lb. Capacity
The VS Series Vertical Storing dock leveler saves you time and money. It is designed for climate-controlled applications where the overhead door must be kept closed when not in use. The dock is stored in the vertical position behind the overhead door, allowing for a complete energy-efficient seal. The VS Series includes a "controlled lowering" hydraulic system — the dock attendant must push and hold the button to lower the unit. Key features include high tensile steel, I-Beam deck construction, hydraulic fall-safe, CSA- and/or UL-approved components and maintenance strut.
MANTIS HYDRAULIC
C-Channel Construction
25,000 to 40,000 lb. Capacity
Mantis series moderate usage dock levelers are efficient and easy to use. Activation and positioning are achieved with constant-pressure push button controls. Fixed rear hinge remains flush with the floor to eliminate pinch points and cross-traffic obstructions. Full-width pin along with four vertical frame supports absorb cross-traffic impact. Key features include high tensile steel, C-Channel construction, 2" rear angle, hydraulic fall-safe, CSA- and/or UL-approved components and maintenance strut.
MANTIS MECHANICAL
C-Channel Construction
25,000 to 40,000 lb. Capacity
The Mantis Series moderate usage dock leveler features leading technology in mechanical dock leveler operation. The ergonomic soft-pull chain requires only 3 lbs. of force to release the deck. The hold-down assembly features a disk brake and a flexible lifting strap that will compensate for deck tilt for seamless dock movement to that of the air-ride trailer suspension. Operation is quiet and smooth with low maintenance requirements. Key features include high tensile steel, C-Channel construction, single point tension adjustment, 2" rear angle and maintenance strut.
VEHICLE RESTRAINTS
Powered & Mechanical
Our engineered products focus on design simplicity, utilizing heavy-duty construction materials. This helps keep maintenance to a minimum with fewer equipment adjustment requirements. Blue Giant helps reduce the risk of costly mishaps while increasing productivity with our cost-effective design choices.
TL-85 Series hydraulic vehicle restraint technology centers around a patented non-impact, "swing-up" arm that is designed to confine a vehicle's rear impact guard(ICC bar), thereby restricting the forward movement of the vehicle, caused by creep or unscheduled departure.
ML-10 Series mechanical vehicle restraint features the simplicity of non-impact design and is a clear choice in meeting OSHA requirements for safety. With the detachable control handle supplied with the ML-10, the loading dock attendant simply deploys the restraining arm manually to secure the trailer to the loading dock.
Blue Giant delivers premium quality Dock Communication Systems. The combination of communication lights, controls and signage signals both vehicle driver and dock attendant of safe/secure, park/depart conditions. High visibility safety systems are available for automated, integrated or manual control situations.
EDGE–OF-DOCK LEVELERS
Edge-of-dock levelers from Blue Giant are suitable in situations where the installation of pit levelers is not feasible or where standard fleet bed heights are serviced at the loading dock. The series is easily installed to the dock face, providing an efficient self-storing docking unit. The mechanical series' smooth transition and effortless operation are within acceptable OSHA/ANSI lifting requirements. Edge-of-dock levelers are available in both mechanical and dual hydraulic cylinder designs.
DOCK SEALS & SHELTERS
Dock seals and shelters greatly enhance energy conservation and protect workers, products and packaging from outside elements. They regulate internal temperatures, help keep employees safe and reduce pilfering at the loading bay.
Which dock sealer/shelter is best suited for your loading dock? Dock applications, site criteria and facility operations vary and may require one feature greater than the other. There are several configurations available, including basic types of compression dock seals, standard dock shelters, inflatable seals and hybrid dock seal/shelter/inflatable designs. Allow the Blue Giant team to assist you with choosing the best product suited to your unique needs.
DOCK LIFTS
4,000 to 20,000 lb. Capacity
The ED Series dock lift from Blue Giant provides an efficient way to handle endless materials handling applications at grocery stores, schools, hospitals, postal services and retail outlets- anywhere a low-profile workhorse is required. Dock lifts can be built in virtually any size and capacity required for the application. Greater efficiency can be achieved by utilizing a dock lift wide enough to allow side-by-side pallet loading. In the event forming a pit is prohibitive, an alternative solution can be found with our S-Series semi-portable dock lift. A dock lift will greatly reduce handling costs and cargo damage and improve employee safety with vertical transfer operations.
PLANNED MAINTENANCE & DOCK ACCESSORIES
Identifying and implementing the correct planned maintenance program and dock accessories can help improve a company's operations. Many dock accessories are available to help the performance of your loading dock, including hydraulic conversion kits, weather seals, dock lights, wheel chocks and more.
