Bob, As mentioned before, the distance the
grade is spread over will make it manageable or un-manageable, the shorter, the
harder. Another concern is the height of trucks, vans, and trailers, with any
grade at the dock I would invest in some ramps to raise their height. Also,
make sure you have good drainage in your dock area as run off will flow to that
area. Stebich Ridder International Tel: (973) 594-4950 Fax: (973) 594-1977 This message and any attachment are confidential. If you are not

working on plans for a new building. Due to site constraints, it may be
necessary for the loading dock to have a declined approach of 9%. I would
welcome feedback, particularly from those with practical experience with such a
situation. How big a problem is this? Is loading or unloading a semi trailer at
that amount of angle (a) of no concern, (b) a minor inconvenience, or (c)
worse? Thanks much. Bob Hellier All e-mail
