Dock Levelers, Seals and Loading Dock Equipment in Columbia, SC
Overhead Door of Columbia sells, installs and services Overhead Door loading dock equipment for warehouses, distribution centers and manufacturers in Columbia, Lexington, Sumter and across the Midlands. That includes pit levelers, edge of dock levelers, dock seals, dock shelters and the accessories that go with them. If an existing leveler is giving you trouble, visit the repair section below. We work on all makes and models.
Mechanical Pit Leveler
This is the leveler for a busy dock. It sits in a pit built into the dock, and adjuster feet let our installers set it to your floor height so forklifts roll onto the trailer without a bump. Our Overhead Door mechanical pit levelers are built to the ANSI MH 30.1 durability standard, and the textured powder coat on the deck keeps its grip even when wet.
Edge of Dock Leveler
If you do not have room for a pit, or your dock does not see heavy traffic, the Overhead Door Edge of Dock Leveler mounts right on the dock face. It is the only edge of dock leveler in the industry built to the ANSI MH 30.1 durability standard. It has the same slip-resistant powder coat and helps close the bumps and gaps that damage cargo.
Dock Seals
Fixed dock seals and adjustable curtain seals press against the back of the trailer and close off the gap around it. Rain and pests stay out, and the air you are paying to heat and cool stays in. They are made with fire-retardant foam and UV-resistant fabric, allowing them to handle daily wear and tear from trailers and the Columbia heat, humidity and sun.
Dock Shelters
Foam dock shelters and fixed dock shelters cover the top and sides of the opening without pressing into the trailer, so the full width stays open for loading. If you see a lot of different trailer sizes, a shelter may be the better choice.
Dock Accessories
Lighting, track guards, bumpers and wheel chocks protect your building, your door track, and your people. We can help you choose the bumper option that fits your trucks.

Overhead Door. The Genuine. The Original.
C. G. Johnson invented the upward-lifting garage door in 1921 and the electric opener in 1926. More than 100 years later, his company now makes both the overhead door and the dock equipment beneath it. That allows Overhead Door to be the company you call to install, replace, and repair your business' dock and door equipment.
Overhead Door of Columbia has been locally owned and operated since 1980. Our commercial team works on everything from hangar doors to manufacturing plants and college athletic facilities. A lot of companies use the word "overhead" in their name, so always look for the red ribbon logo. It means you are working with an authorized Overhead Door Red Ribbon Distributor.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a pit leveler and an edge of dock leveler?
A pit leveler sits in a pit built into the dock and handles heavier, steadier traffic. An edge of dock leveler mounts on the face of the dock and works for lighter traffic or tighter spaces.
Do I need a dock seal or a dock shelter?
A seal presses against the trailer for the tightest fit. A shelter leaves the opening clear and works better when trailer sizes vary.
Do you repair dock equipment you did not install?
Yes. We service all makes and models.
Can you do the door and the dock on the same job?
Yes. We can quote the commercial door, the leveler, the seals and the accessories together so the whole opening is done by one crew.
Request a quote and someone from our commercial team will come out and look at your dock.
