Warehouse dock doors receive far more use than typical industrial doors. For many loading dock applications, some industrial doors may raise and lower constantly throughout the day, resulting in extreme wear and tear on tracks, rollers, panels, springs, cables and other door elements. Because they get used so much, dock doors must be carefully maintained.
Forklifts and pallet trucks are often in close proximity to dock doors, and doors are sometimes damaged by mismanaged vehicles. Even a superficial forklift impact can in some cases bump an overhead door off its tracks or possibly even cause irreparable damage.
A jammed or damaged overhead door can compromise your building security if it’s jammed open or can’t be adequately locked up. An unsecured door can also subject products to weather or rodent damage while needlessly wasting energy.
Broken doors can also present a safety issue, so it’s best to leave overhead door work to qualified professionals. Weighty doors and rollers can quickly shatter or sever fingers, and high tension torsion springs can cause critical injury or even a fatality. Doors that go off their tracks can also fall suddenly, so it’s important to clear the immediate area of workers and products while awaiting repair.
