I added a video of a floor jack/pallet jack in operation for those that may not know..

Reinhard,
The facility that I worked for was built in the late 60's /early 70's. We had dock locks integrated into the loading dock wall after the fact. The take pounding and are constantly being fixed. We also had adjustable dock ramps that were used to allow the hilo to enter/exit the trailer without dropping down into the trailer since not all trailers set at the same height.
