Warehouse doors take a great deal of abuse, and impaired or out of service doors are all too common on most loading docks. In a lot of cases, doors are impacted by lift trucks. The dock is a hectic, congested location, and doors are constant casualties of lift trucks that must snake through obstacles and pedestrians in a confined area.

Malfunctioning or damaged doors on your loading dock are not just an inconvenience, they can likewise be quite costly to your material handling operation. When you're not able to use a door, it can cause back-ups and lengthy detention times while a bay is out of service. At an active distribution center, every hour a door is out of service results in reduced performance. Getting dock positions back online immediately is vital.

Poorly sealed doors can also result in significant energy loss, this is especially true in environmentally managed and cold storage buildings. Open dock doors are giant escape hatches for conditioned air, and a way in for precipitation, wind and harsh temperatures from the outside. When a door is broken or hard to open or close, it has a tendency to stand open when the dock gets active.

Doors that are not properly closed can also admit rodents and other vermin into your facility, leading to product damage and remediation struggles. In addition, damaged doors can present a considerable safety risk, giving trespassers access to your warehouse after business hours.
