Warehouse doors take a great deal of mistreatment, and malfunctioning or inoperable doors are fairly common on the majority of loading docks. In a lot of cases, doors are damaged by forklifts. The dock is a hectic, congested location, and doors are constant casualties of forklifts that must snake through pedestrians and obstacles in a confined space.

Malfunctioning or damaged doors on your loading dock are not simply a nuisance, they can likewise be very costly to your material handling operation. When you're not able to make use of a door, it can result in backups and long waits for trucks while a bay is out of service. At a busy distribution center, every hour a door is out of service leads to lost productivity. Getting dock bays back online quickly is crucial.

Incorrectly sealed doors can also cause considerable energy loss, especially in climate managed 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 harsh conditions from the outdoors. When a door is broken or hard to open or close, it has a tendency to stay open when the dock gets active.

Unsealed doors can also admit rodents and various other pests into your building, causing product damage and remediation efforts. Furthermore, broken doors can present a significant safety and security hazard, providing intruders easy access to your warehouse after hours.
