Modular loading dock with integrated leveler

A modular loading dock comprising:

• a planar ramp member having a lower end and an upper end, the upper end abutting a preexisting structure and the lower end including a lower edge having a lip, the lip being able to be activated between an extended/engaged position to contact a truck bed and a retracted/disengaged position, the planar ramp member having an at least thirteen foot long hydraulically-adjustable ramp section with an integrated dock leveler, the entire length of the ramp section being able to be moved between an upward and downward position to facilitate lip-only contact with the truck bed,
• a base including top and bottom surfaces, the top surface having an opening to receive a dock leveler into such opening;
• and
• a dock housing consisting of a modular frame mounted onto the base in sections, such sections including a frame-front wall, opposed frame-sidewalls and a frame-top wall, the frame-front wall having a vehicle-receiving opening to receive a back end of a vehicle, the frame-sidewalls being secured to a wall of a building, the dock housing spanning the distance of the planar ramp member;
• wherein the length and adjustability of the planar ramp member allows accommodation of large-sized trailers as well as smaller-in-size delivery trucks and vans.
