What we do

DockStar offers a complete suite of solutions for the modern loading dock, including dock levelers, dock bumpers, dock loading accessories, and weather seals. Beyond our core dock equipment offerings, DockStar also provides access to a curated selection of complementary products, further enhancing safety and efficiency within manufacturing environments. This includes essential safety equipment like Haws eyewash stations, secure storage solutions from Wirecrafters, and environmental protection systems from UltraTech, such as spill containment.

Machine Guarding

Our Machine Guarding Systems offer a simple and effective way to protect personnel from the hazards of automated equipment. These strong and economical barriers provide a vital plant safety solution. Their versatile design allows for easy integration of access doors and larger openings with system controls. Beyond personnel protection, the machine guarding also acts as a safety net, containing malfunctioning equipment. The resilient welded and woven wire mesh construction resists damage, maintains its shape, and requires minimal maintenance. These fully framed panels bolt to posts, creating a robust and secure barrier around dangerous machinery. Unlike electronic safety systems that can malfunction, our Machine Guarding provides constant, reliable protection.

Applications

Machine guarding, area guarding, and perimeter guarding are essential safety measures found in a wide range of industrial settings, including weld cells, robotic cells, press brake stations, laser cutting areas, metal stamping and folding operations, and punching stations. With countless potential applications, these safeguarding solutions are crucial for protecting personnel and equipment.
