ABSTRACT:
A loading dock for loading and unloading objects from a vehicle, comprising a stationary floor section and a movable floor section disposed at one edge of the dock. The movable section is semi-circular in shape, meets the stationary section along the arc of a circle, and is mounted to rotate about the center of that circle. A truck approaches the loading dock in a parallel fashion and stops at a predetermined point thereby. The movable section is then rotated outwardly until said section is aligned with the loading opening in the body of the truck so as to form a dock extension for the moving of material thereon to and from the stationary floor section and truck.
