Keep your loading bays running smoothly
Loading bay equipment works hard—day in, day out. That’s why preventive maintenance isn’t optional—it’s essential. By keeping dock levelers and loading systems in top shape, you protect your workflow, avoid delays, and make sure every connection between building and vehicle works exactly as it should.
Preventative care for your docking systems
Regular maintenance keeps your loading bays working like they should—day after day. With the right care, you can avoid costly replacements of large components or even the entire system.
For hydraulic dock levelers, that often means replacing seals and other high-wear parts in the hydraulic system. But it doesn’t stop there.
Our service teams inspect every critical component and carry out all legally required safety checks—so your equipment stays reliable, compliant, and ready for the next load.
Replacement of hydraulic hoses on dock levelers
Hydraulic hoses should be replaced every six years. This period does not refer to the service life, but is calculated from the date of manufacture. You can find this directly on the hydraulic hose via a date stamp. Since oil is fed through the hoses at very high pressure every time it is used, increased wear and tear due to natural material fatigue or weather-related aging can occur even before six years have elapsed.
Surface cracks, leaks or a complete rupture of the hydraulic hose is a potential risk. Since oil escapes when damaged, this impacts more than just the loading facility itself. Environmental pollution, such as groundwater contamination, is a risk that should not be taken lightly. Timely or preemptive replacement of the hydraulic hoses is therefore in the interest of every company as part of preventive maintenance.
Why preventive maintenance is important for loading bays
Preventive maintenance for loading systems consists not only of the legal requirements for dock levelers and mobile ramps, but also according to manufacturer specifications from ASSA ABLOY.
This ensures your loading bay equipment will be fully operational at all times and also meet all important safety requirements.
