Common Questions About Loading Dock Equipment
How often should loading dock equipment be inspected?
We recommend inspecting all loading dock equipment at least annually, with quarterly inspections for high-traffic facilities. Truck restraints in particular should be inspected annually at minimum since they are life-safety devices. Our maintenance programs include scheduled inspections at the frequency appropriate for your dock volume.
What brands of dock levelers do you service?
We service dock levelers from all major manufacturers including Rite-Hite, Kelley, Poweramp, McGuire, Nova, and Blue Giant. Our technicians carry common replacement parts and have access to OEM components for all these brands.
Our dock leveler is sinking below floor level. Can it be repaired?
A sinking leveler usually indicates a hydraulic issue — either a leaking cylinder, a failing check valve, or low hydraulic fluid. In most cases this is a repair, not a replacement. Our technician will diagnose the specific cause and provide a repair quote. Full replacement is recommended only when the deck structure itself is compromised.
Are truck restraints required by law?
OSHA requires employers to provide measures to prevent trailer separation during loading and unloading. While OSHA does not specify truck restraints by name, they are the industry standard solution and are required by many insurance carriers. Using wheel chocks alone does not meet the standard in most enforcement interpretations.
Can you install dock equipment in an existing building?
Yes, we retrofit dock equipment into existing facilities regularly. Dock levelers, truck restraints, seals, shelters, and high-speed doors can all be installed in buildings that currently lack them. We survey your dock openings and trailer fleet to recommend the right equipment and sizes for your operation.
How quickly can you respond to a dock equipment emergency?
A non-functional dock position costs money every hour it is down. We offer emergency repair service for loading dock equipment with same-day response available for most of the Puget Sound region. Fleet and maintenance contract customers receive priority scheduling.
