Question
Why does my loading dock leveler lower itself?
Usually hydraulic oil is slipping past a tired seal or valve, or weeping at a cylinder or hose. This is unsafe, since the deck may drop while a forklift is on it. Take it out of use and call us to examine the hydraulic circuit, stop the leak and confirm it holds position.
