SPACE FORCE, VANDENBERG

ACQUISITION & INSTALLATION OF DOCK LEVELER

for the

30 LRS

Statement of Work

16 MAR 2026

1.0 BACKGROUND

30 LRS requires the installation of a dock leveler to support safe, efficient, and reliable loading and unloading operations at its facility. A dock leveler is a mechanical device designed to bridge the height and distance gap between the building’s loading dock and a truck or trailer. Without a properly functioning dock leveler, personnel must navigate uneven surfaces and inconsistent trailer heights, which slows material‑handling operations and increases the risk of injury, equipment damage, and cargo instability.

Upgrading this equipment is essential to sustaining 30 LRS’s operational tempo, improving workplace safety, and ensuring logistics activities can be executed efficiently and without interruption.

2.0 OBJECTIVES:

The objective of this project is to furnish and install new dock‑leveling equipment that enables 30 LRS to safely and efficiently bridge the gap between the facility’s loading dock and a wide variety of truck and trailer types. The new dock leveler will support faster loading and unloading operations, improve material‑handling efficiency, and ensure a smooth transition surface for forklifts and other equipment.

Specifically, this project will:

1. Furnish and install one (1) 6' × 8' hydraulic dock leveler with a dynamic capacity of 40,000 pounds, including all required bumpers and accessories.

2. Provide dock‑bridging capability that accommodates varying truck heights and configurations, ensuring safe and reliable loading and unloading operations.

3. Enhance operational throughput by reducing delays caused by uneven trailer heights and manual adjustments, thereby improving overall logistics efficiency.
