Dock levellers are essential loading bay equipment that often go forgotten. Dock levellers must be protected from the elements to not fail due to the cold.
What are Dock Levellers?
Dock levellers are a form of loading equipment commonly used in warehouses and industrial settings. Dock levellers bridge the gap between a docked vehicle and a loading bay, allowing for safe and efficient loading and unloading.
Dock levellers make the loading and unloading process exceptionally safe and simplifies the operation of loading and unloading cargo. Our industry experts are able to advise of preventative procedures to keep you dock levellers in working order.
How Do You Keep Your Dock Levellers Safe During the Winter?
Dock leveller owners must implement safety measures. If you schedule an loading bay winter health check with Dock Technik for the end of autumn, our experts will work to identify any potential issues that could occur and effect your loading process.
Cold Weather Affecting Dock Levellers?
Cold weather can have a harmful impact on dock levellers. Moisture in the oil reservoir freezing over can be a problem for a dock leveller. Such a condition damages dock leveller operation since it prevents the hydraulics from working properly.
Another concern with dock levellers in cold weather is frozen patches forming on the leveller's surface, resulting in slick regions. This will endanger your goods and create a safety concern for workers in and around the loading area. One action to mitigate this risk is is to keep the area around the loading bay entrance warm and industrial doors closed when not in use. This will prevent icy patches from forming on your dock levellers and other critical loading equipment.
The Advantages of Dock Leveller Protection
The most significant advantage of protecting your dock levellers over the winter is that they will continue to work normally. It's worth taking precautions and putting in place safeguards ahead of time.
