Recycled Steel content = Total Recycled = 23% Post Industrial = 85% Post Consumer = 6%
What the above means is that of the 23% total recycled content of our product, 85% of that comes from Post Industrial content, and 6% comes from Post Consumer content.

All dock equipment (including restraints) is accredited for MR Credit 4 (Recycled Content) AND MR Credit 5 (Regional Materials) - steel is brought to our manufacturing facility from less than 500 miles away.

All Dock Levelers are accredited for: EA Pre-Req 2 ( Minimal Energy Performance) because of our hydraulic or air powered lip, AND Mechancial levelers additionally accredited for: EA Credit 1(Optimize Energy Performance)

All Seals are accredited for : EA Pre-Req 2 ( Minimal Energy Performance) AND EA Credit 1 (Optimize Energy Performance)

Vertical Docks acheive both MR Credit 4 and MR credit 5 as well as EA Pre-Req 2 and EA Credit 1 and are our most LEED Friendly product. Paired with an inflatable dock seal, this combiunation is an excellent choice when quoting LEED certified projects.
