Dock Plate & Dock Leveler Repair
A cracked dock plate or a leveler lip that won’t sit right can take a dock door out of service. RickTheWelder does on-site welding repair on dock plates, dock boards and dock levelers for warehouses, distribution centers and loading docks across New Castle County and Kent County, Delaware, plus Eastern Maryland. We bring the mobile rig to your dock and weld it where it sits.
Dock Plate and Leveler Repairs
Cracked or broken dock plates and dock boards
Leveler lips that are cracked, bent or torn
Lip hinges, hinge pins and hinge tubes
Cracked welds on leveler deck plates
Curb angles and dock edges torn up by trucks and forklifts

Welding and steel repair is what we do. If the problem is hydraulic or electrical, mention it when you call.
Repaired at Your Dock
Most dock repairs are done right at the door with the mobile rig, so nothing has to be pulled out and sent away. Many jobs can be scheduled around your shifts.
Send a photo of the damage and one of the area around it (the dock, door or truck) so Rick can tell what equipment he'll need on site. Forklift damage elsewhere in the building? See heavy equipment and forklift repair.
24/7, Including Nights, Fridays and Weekends
A dock door that's down costs you every load it can't handle. RickTheWelder offers 24/7 emergency mobile welding, and we work nights, Fridays and weekends, so the repair can happen when it suits you instead of waiting for next week.
Call or text (302) 532-6240 any time. A photo of the damage helps Rick bring the right material.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you repair a dock leveler on site?
Yes. Leveler lips, hinges and cracked deck welds are repaired at the dock with the mobile rig. Call to set up a time.
Should we repair or replace a cracked dock plate?
Send photos of the plate from the top and underneath, and Rick will tell you whether it's worth repairing.
Can you work after hours?
Yes. We work nights, Fridays and weekends, and 24/7 emergency service is available, so repairs can be done when the dock is quiet.
Do you fix bollards and guards too?
Yes. Bent guards, bollards and door track protectors can be straightened, rebuilt or replaced. For new steel, see misc. metals.
