You’re
probably wondering if there is a secret way to make sure that your dock levelers are always on tip-top
shape. To put your heart and mind at ease, we prepared these 4 secret ways to
maintain your dock levelers and make sure that they are always functional in
South Florida.
1. Oiling
its Components. Dock levelers’ components are prone to rusting since it’s
constantly “moving” throughout the day. Consistently lubricating its important
parts like pivot joints and hinge tubes will prevent rust and break downs.
2. Keeping Everything in Order. As one of the busiest parts of our
warehouses, dock levelers are prone to accumulating dirt and debris that may
likely obstruct the dock leveler’s working parts, slow its movement, and damage
its joints. So it’s imperative to keep it and its surrounding area clean and
orderly by requiring random inspections throughout the day to avoid above
mentioned incidents from happening.
3. Keeping Fluid Levels on Hydraulic Dock Levelers in Check. Low
hydraulic fluid levels result to equipment slowing down and not performing to
the best of its ability which does the business no good. It also prevents
hydraulic dock levelers from maintaining its maximum weight capacity making a
usual one-time job, double. Regular checking of the fluid level is also a way
to maintain this premium piece of equipment to avoid costly and untimely
replacements.
4.
Inspection. Routine
inspection goes hand in hand with maintenance. Inspection makes it easier to
detect early problems and fix it immediately while also preventing future problems
from arising. Routine inspection will definitely save you money and future
headaches.
It is also
important to note that during maintenance, establishing safety precautions is a
must. The most effective safety measure to observe during this time is the
