Warehouse doors take a great deal of wear and tear, and impaired or unusable doors are fairly common on the majority of loading docks. In many cases, doors are impacted by forklifts. The dock is a busy, congested area, and doors are frequent casualties of forklifts that must weave through obstacles and pedestrians in a confined area.

Malfunctioning or broken doors on your loading dock are not just a nuisance, they can also be extremely expensive to your material handling operation. When you're not able to make use of a door, it can lead to backups and lengthy detention times while a bay is out of service. At an active distribution center, every minute a door is out of service leads to lost performance. Putting dock positions back online swiftly is crucial.

Improperly sealed doors can also cause significant energy loss, this is especially true in climate managed and cold storage facilities. Each 8x10 dock door is a massive escape hatch for conditioned air, and an entry point for precipitation, wind and harsh conditions from the outdoors. When a door is damaged or tough to open and close, it tends to remain open when the dock gets active.

Unsealed doors can likewise admit rats and various other vermin into your facility, causing product damage and remediation efforts. In addition, broken doors can present a significant safety threat, giving trespassers easy access to your warehouse after hours.
