Dust, pallet splinters and water gather in the pit, jam the hinge, block drains and eat into the frame. In Dubai the fine dust and humidity make this quicker. Clearing the pit and greasing the hinge is part of each service and reduces wear on the leveler. ## Related questions - [Do I need a dock leveler for my Al Quoz warehouse loading bay in Dubai?](https://meautodoors.com/faq/do-i-need-a-dock-leveler-for-my-al-quoz-warehouse-loading-bay-in-dubai) - [Should a Jebel Ali, Dubai warehouse choose a hydraulic or mechanical dock leveler?](https://meautodoors.com/faq/should-a-jebel-ali-dubai-warehouse-choose-a-hydraulic-or-mechanical-dock-leveler) - [What should a maintenance contract for automatic doors and gates cover in Dubai?](https://meautodoors.com/faq/what-should-a-maintenance-contract-for-automatic-doors-and-gates-cover-in-dubai) - [Why does my loading dock leveler lower itself?](https://meautodoors.com/faq/why-does-my-loading-dock-leveler-lower-itself) - [Dock leveler options: hydraulic or mechanical for a Dubai loading bay?](https://meautodoors.com/faq/dock-leveler-options-hydraulic-or-mechanical-for-a-dubai-loading-bay) - [How do you pick the correct dock leveler for a loading bay?](https://meautodoors.com/faq/how-do-you-pick-the-correct-dock-leveler-for-a-loading-bay) - ### Quote from a photo One photo of the opening and one of the motor.
