Warehouse doors are cycled thousands of times a year, and broken or out of service doors are fairly common on the majority of loading docks because they receive so much use. In some cases, doors are struck by lift trucks. The dock is a chaotic, congested location, and doors are regular casualties of lift trucks that must snake through obstacles and pedestrians in a confined area.

Malfunctioning or broken doors on your loading dock are not simply an inconvenience, they can also be very costly to your material handling operation. When you're unable to make use of a door, it can lead to backups and delays while a bay is out of service. At an active distribution center, every hour a door is out of service leads to reduced performance. Putting dock positions back online swiftly is important.

Poorly secured doors can also result in considerable energy loss, particularly in climate controlled and cold storage facilities. Each 8x10 dock door is a huge escape hatch for conditioned air, and an entry point for moisture, wind gusts and extreme conditions from the outside. When a door is damaged or tough to open and close, it has a tendency to stay open when the dock becomes active.

Unsealed doors can also allow rodents and various other vermin into your building, leading to product damages and remediation struggles. In addition, damaged doors can present a considerable safety danger, giving trespassers access to your warehouse after business hours.
