Fix Uneven Docks and Ramps Without Interrupting Shipments
When your loading dock or concrete ramp starts to sink, it creates major problems. Truck alignments go off, dock plates don’t seat right, and forklift transitions become dangerous. At Raise-Rite, we lift and stabilize sunken docks and ramps using high-density polyurethane foam — fast, clean, and with minimal downtime.
Why Do Loading Docks and Ramps Sink?
Heavy vehicle traffic, water exposure, and freeze-thaw cycles take a toll on outdoor slabs. The soil beneath the dock or ramp begins to shift or wash out, causing the concrete to sink unevenly. When that happens, trucks can’t load properly, and your team risks injury or equipment damage.
If your dock or ramp is sinking, there’s a good chance other slabs nearby are moving too. We also level warehouse floors, factory slabs, interior floors, and municipal concrete. View all commercial services to learn more.

What Are the Signs You Need Dock or Ramp Leveling?
Unlevel docks and ramps disrupt workflow and increase liability. Watch for:
Gaps between dock plates and trailer beds
Cracked or separated joints near dock edges
Forklifts slamming or jarring during transitions
Water draining toward your building or pooling at ramps
Uneven ramps that cause tire dips or scraping
Our Fix: Quick, Clean Concrete Leveling with Foam
Step 1) Injection holes are strategically drilled around the areas where the concrete is sunken and requires lifting.
Step 2) Once everything is prepped, and the hose and material are in place, the polyurethane foam is injected through the holes. It expands to fill the space underneath the concrete slab, using the slab itself to drive the foam into the crevices, thereby lifting the concrete back to its original position.
Step 3) Once the concrete is stabilized and lifted to the proper position, the injection holes are filled with new cement, allowing you to use your surface immediately.
Polyurethane concrete raising uses a foam material that is injected under the slab. When the components of the material are mixed, a reaction causes the material to expand. This expanded foam fill any voids beneath the slab and raises the concrete. This material will never lose density, is permanent and weighs only about 2 pounds per cubic foot.
