Dock High Warehouse for Sale - Cincinnati Metro

Those roll-up, overhead steel doors you see in some warehouses, the ones you might find when you get lost on the road or pass through an industrial park, are called high-loading docks. If you are in the distribution business, you will no doubt be interested in having a warehouse that allows you to quickly load and unload everything that comes or must go on a truck trailer. Of course, you can buy such a warehouse if you have a good credit line for investment, but if you need something smaller and want to avoid spending or going into debt, no problem! You can opt to lease a warehouse with high-loading docks. Don't worry! Because of its interstate enclave position, there is an abundance of such warehouses in and around Cincinnati to lease and buy.

This is actually a pretty loaded question (pun intended if you like). At a very basic level, Dock-High docks are used to simplify getting "stuff" into and out of a building - generally from or to a truck trailer ... or train car. One of our more popular articles provides a definition of Dock-High loading. The main alternative is grade-level building access - i.e. being able to drive into a building so that the "stuff" you work with can be lifted from and onto whatever you are using to transport your "stuff." "Stuff" can mean anything from raw materials to finished goods, supplies, tools, tooling, etc., etc.. Size and weight are big factors in deciding which of these two methods of moving "stuff" into and out of your building is used - with bigger and heavier stuff tending to be grade-level, and lighter and smaller tending to be dock-high. There is also the issue of whether the stuff you are transferring needs to be well protected from the elements including during the loading and unloading process. There are always exceptions, and much is likely being left out. Docks are seen attached to many types of buildings - manufacturing, R&D, Distribution, Storage, etc. The measure of how many docks you need is tied directly to how much "stuff" you need to move into and out of your building/space in a given time period (also a complex calculation). That's a fairly simple, conceptual discussion of Dock-High dock uses. Also, now that we've compared and contrasted dock-high vs. grade-loading, note in the above photo that most (nearly all?) buildings need to have a bit of grade loading in any case. Read on for some discussion of more detailed issues surrounding Dock-High docks.
