As the winter
months approach, loading areas around the country will begin to fall into the
seasonal rituals that accompany the colder weather. Putting protective measures
in place for your site loading bays is something that every organization should
think about.
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.
Protecting
your dock levellers from the elements will lessen the likelihood of unnecessary
costly repair.
