Question
What affects the lifespan of a dock leveler?
Load, traffic, truck impact, the quality of seals and the care of the pit. A dock leveler kept clean and serviced usually lasts far longer than one left unchecked. Hydraulic leaks and worn lips are early signs. Good care adds years to a dock.
Regular lubrication, a clean pit and prompt repair of leaks extend life. Overloading and rough truck contact shorten it.

Have the dock height, the truck bed height range, the forklift model and the load weight ready. A photo of the dock edge and door helps us size the equipment.
