Importance of a Loading Dock Preventive Maintenance Plan

Safety organizations across Canada outline emphasize that all equipment should be inspected at least once a year to comply with government health and safety regulations.

“Establish a regular preventive maintenance program for loading dock equipment including dock levellers, restraints, doors, dock bumpers, lights, and communication systems.”

“The high level of activity at a loading dock area along with the presence of physical hazards can lead to serious worker injury, and sometimes result in a fatality. It is important to be proactive in identifying potential hazards in the loading dock area.”

Multi-Point Service Inspections – Pass Audits and Increase Equipment Lifetime

Our technicians are trained to inspect and repair all types of loading dock equipment. From inspecting welds, lips, hinges, weather seal, struts, shims and toe guards to pit cleaning, our detailed multi-point inspection sheets ensures your service is as thorough as possible. Also, we will give you a detailed report for your records for when auditors come by for their inspections.

What Gets Measured Gets Done

Northern Dock Systems tracks key performance indicators (KPIs) during the entire process, from the time your phone call is picked up, to the time it takes the technician to reach your location, to completion times and to the time it takes our finance department to issue your invoice. We strongly believe what gets measured gets done more efficiently and quickly, which decreases our customers’ downtime and increases their productivity.

We have optimized and implemented our dispatch systems (live updates, GPS tracking and technician schedules) to ensure that our response times are fast and accurate to give you the ease and comfort of knowing that someone is on their way to fix the issue.

We believe that strong communication is key to any project. If your project requires a second visit or needs an uncommon part, we will track how long it takes to get the part in and for us to complete the project, while keeping you in the loop on the status.
