Loading docks must be checked, adjusted, maintained and repaired regularly in order to preserve the various equipment at this level and ensure their proper functioning. It is recommended to entrust these missions to qualified professionals for a lasting result that meets your security needs. Canado-Nacan Equipment provides you with experienced technicians specially trained in the field.

What is a loading dock?

A loading dock is a place within a warehouse or industrial building where goods are loaded and unloaded. Thus, it is specially designed to accommodate trucks or trailers of different sizes and to guarantee the safety of the transfer processes.

However, the loading dock is a hazardous area that requires safety equipment in good condition. Indeed, it is a place where workers and machines such as forklifts regularly circulate, which increases the risk of accidents or collisions. In addition, the detachment or sliding of improperly anchored trucks can cause serious injuries and significant property damage.

What is the benefit of preventive maintenance of loading dock equipment?

Preventive maintenance of loading dock equipment makes it possible above all to optimize its longevity and guarantee its proper functioning. It is also an effective way to ensure that the area does not pose a danger to the safety and health of workers and all those who pass through it.

What are the steps in preventive maintenance of loading dock equipment?

The maintenance and evaluation of loading dock equipment is done in 5 steps. Find out the details.

1- Cleaning

To begin with, our technicians thoroughly clean the equipment and its components to effectively remove debris, dirt and grime that could be causing premature wear or malfunction. This first step makes it possible to give the parts a new shine, to optimize their lifespan and to improve their efficiency.

2- Lubrication

Then, the technicians proceed to lubricate the areas that need it using good quality and appropriate products. This step essentially protects the parts against corrosion, wear and mildew and thus optimizes the efficiency of the equipment. In the long term, this ensures better productivity by reducing downtime.

3- Adjustment

Our technicians then adjust each piece of equipment to ensure that it works properly and that users are safe and comfortable. This is because a lack of fit significantly increases the risk of serious accidents and can cause a huge loss of time.

4- Inspection

After cleaning, lubricating and inspection, technicians will thoroughly inspect each piece of equipment and component for any defects or problems. They will then warn you in the event of any problems and offer you the appropriate predictive maintenance solutions to prevent the situation from getting worse.

5- The report

Finally, we provide you with a report to inform you of the maintenance we have carried out and any problems to be solved with their associated cost.
