Who we serve

Keep freight moving through every snowfall

Snow & ice management for industrial and warehouse yards — clear truck aprons, dock ramps and yard circulation for 24/7 shifts. Call (604) 990-7072.

The problems we take off your plate

A blocked dock apron stops the whole operation

When a truck cannot back into the dock, everything behind it stalls — deliveries, shipments and the crews waiting on both. Aprons and ramps are cleared as first-priority surfaces, not left for last.

Shift change never stops, so access cannot either

A 24/7 facility has no overnight window to fall behind in. Service is scheduled around your shifts so gates, yards and entrances stay open whatever hour the snow falls.

Forklifts and ice do not mix

Loaded lift trucks need traction on ramps and yard surfaces, and a slick apron is both a damage and an injury risk. Ice control is applied where equipment and people actually move.

Big yards need big equipment and a real plan

Acres of yard and truck circulation cannot be cleared with a pickup and a blade. Sites are mapped for stacking, routing and priority zones so a large yard gets cleared to a plan, not by improvisation.

Keep the freight moving

For an industrial or warehouse site, snow is a logistics problem before it is anything else. If a trailer cannot reach the dock, the whole chain behind it — inbound deliveries, outbound shipments, the crews on both ends — stops with it. North Shore Snow treats your dock aprons, ramps and truck lanes as the first surfaces cleared, because they are the ones that keep product moving. Dispatch is triggered by weather monitoring rather than a phone call, so crews are working your yard before accumulation shuts a gate.

Built for 24/7 operations

A round-the-clock facility has no quiet hours to fall behind in. We build your plan around how the site actually runs — shift changes, gate schedules, staging areas — so access holds whatever time the snow arrives. Snow plowing and snow removal are routed to keep yard circulation, entrances and worker parking open across every shift, not just the day shift. Gate access, staging lanes and trailer parking are sequenced so an inbound truck at 3am meets the same clear surface as one at 3pm, and your dispatchers are not routing around a snowed-in yard.

Dock ramps, aprons and forklift-safe surfaces

The surfaces that carry your equipment need traction, not just clearing. Loaded forklifts on a glazed ramp are a damage and injury risk, so de-icing and salting are applied where lift trucks and workers actually move — ramps, aprons and pedestrian routes — on a weather-driven schedule. Every visit is GPS-logged with time-stamped photos, giving you a documented record for safety, insurance and any slip-and-fall claim that surfaces.

Yard-scale equipment and a mapped plan

Acres of yard and truck circulation cannot be handled with a blade on a pickup. We map large sites from satellite imagery for clearing routes, snow-stacking areas that do not consume trailer parking, and priority zones, then bring equipment sized to the job. A big yard gets cleared to a plan, not by improvisation.

FAQ

Industrial & Warehouse — common questions

Can you service a yard around our shift schedule?

Yes. We build the plan around how your facility actually runs, including 24/7 operations, so gates, yard circulation and entrances stay clear through shift changes rather than only during business hours.

Do you clear truck aprons and dock ramps?

Yes. Dock aprons, loading ramps, trailer parking and the lanes that feed them are mapped as top-priority surfaces and cleared first, because that is where your freight either moves or stops.

How do you make surfaces safe for forklifts and foot traffic?

We apply de-icing and salting on the ramps, aprons and pedestrian routes where lift trucks and workers move, on a weather-driven schedule, so surfaces keep traction for both equipment and people.

Can you handle large industrial yards?

Yes. We map large yards for clearing routes, snow-stacking areas and priority zones, and bring yard-scale equipment, so acres of truck circulation get cleared to a plan rather than piecemeal.
