Due to their mass, concrete decks are often better able to resist forces caused by truck’s wheels during acceleration, meaning less friction and wear. Concrete also typically offers a longer lifespan than steel by five to seven additional years of life, with little maintenance needed along the way.

Concrete decks also offers better traction in wet or icy weather, and better overall load distribution for trucks.

Concrete is the material of choice where strength and durability count. As a strong and rigid product, concrete is able to withstand repeated loads from trailer jacks. Using asphalt for your loading dock, which is much more pliable, could leave you with a dented surface.

Pros:

1. Concrete Deck are more stronger for truck loading / unloading.
2. Its more better for longer run as well.
3. Good for any weather conditions.
4. Resistant for truck wheels, wear & tear.
5. Less maintenance required.
