" . . . this is a solution that makes sense."

The temperature in a trailer being manually loaded in the summer sun can dehydrate workers, lower morale and cut productivity. Schedules slip, mistakes increase, and costs go up.

An AmeriShade shipping and receiving dock canopy totally shields the trailer from the direct rays of the sun. Our shade membrane stops elevated temperatures before they occur.

As a consequence of the cooler temperatures, loaders work longer without a break, make fewer mistakes, and enjoy better relations with management.

An AmeriShade Dock and Bay door canopy extends the full length of the trailer without column supports. Our unique cantilever design protects the total trailer from the bay door to the tractor, but doesn't interfere with the movement of vehicles backing up and pulling away from the docks.

Your employees are your greatest asset. Show them your appreciation with the addition of a roomy, sheltered rest area for their break times. Our custom-made canopies will be perfectly fitted to your space and designed to complement and enhance your real estate asset.

Our employee amenities include covered walkways and sheltered parking in addition to outside break areas. Each structure is individually designed and available in a broad range of colors and fabric types. Optional features include lighting, security, and sound systems.

In 2004, Florida was hit repeatedly with bad weather. Two massive hurricanes, Frances and Jeanne, came ashore at the location of one of our bigger customers. As we expected, the covers suffered no structural damage with only the top being replaced as a result of being hit with flying debris.
We don't usually expect winds in excess of 120 mph, but you'll be glad to know that we build for them.
