DockStar Loading Dock Controls
Innovative Touchscreen Controls for Safer, Smarter Loading Docks
DockStar touchscreen controls are designed to bring more control, visibility, and consistency to the loading dock. Built for real-world dock environments, the system helps facilities improve dock safety, simplify operator training, and create a more repeatable workflow from trailer arrival to departure.

Designed to align with DockStar’s factory-direct loading dock brand, this interface brings together modern controls, bold industrial styling, and a safer dock workflow in one streamlined system.
Why DockStar built it
Reduce complexity at the dock door
DockStar developed this control interface to solve real loading dock challenges. Instead of relying on memory, inconsistent habits, or manual equipment handling, the touchscreen guides operators through each step with clear visual prompts that help support safer, more repeatable dock operation.
High turnover and undertrained dock workers who need a simpler, more controlled process.
Language barriers between warehouse teams and truck drivers at the dock.
Unsafe dock conditions caused by missing interlocks and inconsistent operating sequences.
Manual manipulation of dock equipment that can lead to accidents, downtime, product damage, or premature wear.
Complex load and unload cycles that are difficult to train, repeat, and enforce across multiple dock positions.

What you’ll see in the DockStar demo
- A guided dock sequence with visual prompts that continue until the required action is completed.
- DockStar Dual Barrier Vehicle Restraint engagement before the door opens.
- Load selection and leveler positioning for both end load and standard loading scenarios.
- Clear progression indicators that show when it is safe to move to the next step.
- A complete closeout sequence that returns the dock position to a ready state for the next trailer.
Why facilities choose DockStar
Built around the real loading dock cycle
Safer Dock Operation
Built to help support safer dock activity by guiding operators through the sequence and reducing opportunities for skipped steps or unsafe equipment movement.
Integrated Dock Control
Manage the door, vehicle restraint, leveler positioning, and power functions from one touchscreen interface designed for the loading dock.
Guided Visual Workflow
Looping visual prompts show operators what should happen next, helping reduce confusion and making the process easier to follow.
Interlocked Sequence Logic
The system advances only after required actions are completed, helping create a more controlled workflow from trailer arrival to departure.
Simplified Training
An intuitive touchscreen layout helps facilities train new operators faster and support more consistent dock procedures across shifts.
Facility-Specific Setup
Door naming, messaging, and workflow configuration can be adapted to match the layout and operating needs of the facility.
Factory-Direct Dock Safety Innovation
Upgrade every dock position with smarter control and safer workflow
DockStar touchscreen controls help facilities standardize loading dock operation, reduce dependence on operator memory, and support a safer, more efficient dock process backed by the innovation and responsiveness of a factory-direct partner.
