Today Blue Giant is the premier solutions provider of safe, effective, and technologically innovative loading dock and material handling equipment. The world-renowned product line includes dock levelers (including the industry's first air cylinder dock leveler), ground-level lifts, vehicle restraints, intelligent dock controls, seals and shelters, and a diverse offering of material handling products.
"Blue Giant's fifty-year track record as the premier dock equipment solutions provider has earned us a worldwide customer base and a solid place at the forefront of the industry," says Jeff MIller, Vice President of Sales and marketing. "By ensuring that our dock equipment technology continues to evolve, we as a company will always be able to offer loading dock solutions that match all applications and site requirements."
Loading Docks
An impressive combination of usability and longevity, Blue Giant Hydraulic Dock Levelers are high-performance systems that operate at the touch of a button. Strategically welded enhanced J-beams provide an exceptional level of structural sturdiness, improving product lifetime.
Hydraulic deck and lip cylinders increase operating efficiency and reduce maintenance requirements, resulting in a significantly lower cost of ownership compared to mechanical units. Optional independent lip control is available for all models, decreasing both cycle time and energy use (Blue Genius® Touch Control Panel required).
Superior craftsmanship, ease of operation, and a robust suite of advanced safety features make the Blue Giant Hydraulic Dock Leveler an ideal choice for increased productivity at the loading dock.
The Blue Giant Air-Powered Dock Leveler operates safely and efficiently under the toughest conditions: temperature extremes, heavy operations, and exposure to caustic substances.
Uses the industry-accepted total load class standard ANSI MH30.1 for ease of weight calculations and usage.
THE POWER OF AIR
Air-Powered performance is activated by a single push button control station, requiring no bending or pulling on the part of the operator. The blower motor inflates a two-stage airbag via high-volume, low-pressure (HVLP). After releasing the button, the bag deflates, setting the platform on the trailer bed. This air lifting system is an environmentally-friendly alternative to oil-powered hydraulics. A redesigned lip operation system provides positive powered deployment and automatic release when lowering on trailer bed or storing in parked position.

The unit can be left in the locked position overnight to discourage trailer theft
NO POWER NECESSARY
Certain applications, such as chemical handling facilities or grain storage locations, involve explosive substances and require limited interaction with electrical devices:the ML10 is a safe and reliable restraining device for these situations because of its entirely mechanical operation.
THE NEXT LEVEL
The ML10 system can be upgraded to include a manual or automatic lights communication package for added safety at the loading dock
The TLC24-M has interior and exterior LED signal lights (red / green) that are manually controlled to communicate safety conditions to both dock workers and truck drivers
The advanced TLC24-A has all the benefits of the TLC24-M but also detects the position of the restraint via a sensor, allowing the lights to automatically change according to the relevant safety condition
Blue Giant wheel chocking systems are an effective way to achieve safety at the loading dock. Not all vehicles are equipped with an ICC bar, or the ICC bar may be damaged, and a vehicle restraint will not suffice in this application. Blue Giant wheel chocking systems secure the trailer and communicate with internal personnel that the trailer is chocked correctly and safe for loading and unloading. All from a single control station operation.
Our intelligent wheel chocking systems are integrated with Blue Genius controls and provide the highest level in loading dock safety, productivity and communication. Avoid premature departures, trailer creep, and create a safer environment, protecting people, facilities, and equipment.
Interlock Chock
An integrated safety solution that provides communication between loading dock personnel and
trailer operators.

HVLS Industrial Fans
The Blue Giant Eagle VI fan has an innovative blade design that moves more air with less energy. The six-airfoil system increases air velocity in summer and de-stratifies hot air pockets in winter, resulting in an energy cost reduction of up to 30%. In many cases a return on investment can be realized in less than two years.
The Eagle VI fan keeps indoor temperatures at comfortable levels in warehouses, sporting facilities, open-concept offices, and other high-ceiling locations. It can also reduce building costs by lowering required HVAC tonnage and duct work.
