companies have relied on Advance for the highest quality Dock Equipment
available for industrial applications of all kinds. We are dedicated to
meeting our customers' needs and expectations.
Advance offers the best value. Advance has invested millions of dollars
in new equipment and systems to control costs and improve quality. There
are three factors that determine the price of a product:
1. Equipment Design; 2. Manufacturing Cost; and 3. Component Cost. A
product can be very expensive or very inexpensive because of improper design,
improper manufacturing techniques or improper component selection. The
price of a product does not determine its value. The most expensive product
may not be the best value while the least expensive product could be the
best value. Advance offers the best value.
Advance has over 28 years of experience in working with and refining
its designs and manufacturing processes and offers exceptional value for
the following reasons.
- Equipment Design-Because Advance has such a broad
product line, it brings a wealth of design experience to the drawing board.
Each product design or improvement benefits from this broad product spectrum.
Advance product designs are not hampered by tunnel vision that often occurs
in companies that have restricted product lines.
- Manufacturing Cost-Advance has a state-of-the-art manufacturing
facility and uses the latest in ,production equipment which includes robotically
fed CNC turning centers, CNC plasma burning tables, specially designed
mechanical lathe welders, CNC vertical machining centers, proprietary jigs
and, fixtures, conveyor and monorail systems, etc. There is no other manufacturer that
can produce like products, faster and for less money than Advance and still
maintain the Advance quality and value.
- Component Cost-Besides designing new products, Advance's R&D
department is constantly searching for, reviewing and testing new components
that will improve product performance and reliability, while reducing costs.
Because of its broad product line, Advance has gained a greater knowledge
of component performance in a wider variety of applications, which makes
it possible to select the component that is the best value for the job.
Advance offers the best quality. Any of the hundreds of items that go
into a product can add to or detract from its quality. Advance endeavors
to provide the best quality in all areas. For example:
- Electrical-Advance is the only lift manufacturer
that is a UL approved electrical controller assembler. When you get an
Advance product it comes with the UL label on the entire controller assembly,
not just on the components. Others charge hundreds of dollars for this
feature. With Advance, it's free. That's value.
- Mechanical-Advance is the only lift manufacturer that mills
and drills its lift table legs in a one-step operation for exacting tolerances
to ensure long equipment life. Others rough flame cut their legs in one
operation, drill them in another operation, and then hand grind them for
final fit-up in yet another operation. With Advance, you get machine tool
quality lifts. That's value.
- Hydraulic-Advance manufacturers its own industrial grade cylinders.
Upper bearing blocks are made of steel, not nylon or plastic. The bearing
blocks are fitted with lifetime lubricated bearings to avoid the metal-to-metal
contact provided by most manufacturers. Pistons are equipped with special
wear rings to preclude eccentric loading on the cylinder seals, which ensures
long seal life. Cylinder rods are made from hard chrome plated stressproof
steel to ensure long life and inhibit rusting. Housings are automatically
welded on lathe welders and spud welders to ensure quality. With Advance
you get the highest quality hydraulic cylinders in the industry. That's
value.
- Paint Finish-Advance is the only manufacturer that provides
an oven baked-on paint finish. While other manufacturers use outdated air
dry paint methods, Advance uses a sophisticated multi-step paint process
that includes cleaning, etching, drying, inspecting, oven baked-on primer
and oven baked-on paint finish. Other manufacturers would have to charge
hundreds of dollars to provide the same paint finish. With Advance, it's
free. That's value.
- Lifetime lubricated bearings on rollers and pivot points to reduce maintenance
costs. Hard chrome plated stressproof steel axles and pins to ensure long
life and inhibit rust.
- Larger roller wheels to handle maximum loading and ensure long equipment
life.
- Conformance to OSHA, BOCA, ANSI, UL, and NEC standards.
- Eight standard paint colors to choose from to meet your requirements.
- Fast deliveries to meet your needs.

specific problem.
