Loading bay equipment & dock leveller repairs

It’s important that loading bay equipment and dock levellers are functional at all times, so if repairs are needed they must be carried out swiftly and with minimal disruption.

When loading bays are not working correctly, they become a danger to those using them because the distance or height difference between a vehicle and the building is no longer bridged effectively. As well as presenting a risk to health and safety this also causes a breach in security – and results in disruption to logistics operations. It is therefore essential that defective dock levellers, whether freestanding or part of a load house, are professionally repaired as soon as an issue is identified.

In addition to any problems that may arise with the dock leveller the loading dock door can also develop faults.  Find out more information about our repair service for industrial and sectional doors below.

Common causes of dock leveller repairs

There are many reasons why loading bay equipment may develop faults, from error messages on the control panel, to the lip of the leveller not fully extending. Hydraulic dock levellers may require attention if hoses or cylinders are defective, or if oil begins to drip from the loading system unit. Whatever the issue, notifying the ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems service team promptly will ensure a swift response and avoid any problems deteriorating further. 

Rectifying problems immediately allows the dock leveller to be made safer and maintains the longevity of the system. Similarly, scheduled maintenance such as an oil change or the replacement of porous seals should be carried out in a timely manner to reduce the likelihood of breakdowns or the failure of the entire system.
