How Much Space Do You Need Between Loading Docks?

The recommended space between loading docks is typically 3.6 to 4.3 metres (12 to 14 feet), depending on the size of the vehicles you accommodate. This spacing allows safe movement for vans, trailers, and forklifts during loading and unloading operations. Sufficient space ensures that vehicles can align properly with the dock doors, reducing the risk of accidents or damage.
