Pit Fillers are a custom trailer wheel riser that is built to elimiate trailer height changes caused by sloped driveways. When loading docks are dug out next to a building, they need a drain which is typicallly located several feet from the building. This causes the trailers bed height to come in lower than on a level dock approach.
To solve this problem, we build a long platform that creates a level surface for the trailer tires and brings the trailer bed at or above dock, regardless of the trailer axles position.
