not equipped w/ loading docks

Considerando il contesto e il fatto che non possa riferirsi alla situazione del tetto o simile, mi viene in mente che i magazzini sono provvisti spesso di ribalte, o ribaltine, quell'alzata in cemento che va a filo con il camion quando si scarica.
Appunto detto Loading Dock.

agree bistefano : yes, this is the meaning (N.B. wrong jargon verb derivation from name "ribalta", so you can't find it in vocabularies)

Well, taking in account the bistefano\'s words, my understanding of the phrase is most probably wrong. I don\'t hide my answer but please disregard it.
Peer comment(s):

disagree bistefano : A mother tonghue italian (as I am) would NEVER say so - it's simply impossible to use this verb in such way
