loading dock door repair

Share This Post

Warehouse doors take a great deal of abuse, and malfunctioning or out-of-order doors are fairly common on most loading docks. In many cases, doors are struck by forklifts. The dock is a busy, congested area, and doors are frequent casualties of forklifts that have to weave through obstacles and pedestrians in a confined space.

Malfunctioning or broken doors on your loading dock are not just a hassle, they can likewise be quite costly to your material handling operation. When you’re unable to make use of a door, it can cause backups and delays while a bay is out of service. At an active warehouse, every minute a door is out of service results in lost efficiency. Getting dock bays back online quickly is essential.

Incorrectly secured doors can also result in substantial energy loss, particularly in environmentally managed and cold storage facilities. Each 8×10 dock door is a giant escape hatch for conditioned air, and a way in for moisture, wind gusts and extreme temperatures from the outside. When a door is damaged or difficult to open or close, it often tends to stand open when the dock gets busy.

Doors that are not properly closed can likewise allow rats and other pests into your facility, causing product damage and extermination struggles. Furthermore, damaged doors can present a substantial safety and security danger, offering trespassers easy access to your warehouse after business hours.
