| Scissor lifts, elevating
docks, lifting platforms, bridge plates - all designed to assist in
getting your goods moving. These are not complex pieces of machinery,
but bearing in mind how much work they are required to do, and how much
abuse they will inevitably get in a busy loading operation, minor
repairs and regular maintenance are always going to be necessary if you
want to avoid total downtime.
|
 |
| Look for tell-tale signs of
hydraulic oil leakage around the lifting cylinders - or mechanical
damage to the safety edges around the underside of the platform. These
are all likely to result in the machine failing to operate, if left
unattended. And when such a failure does occur - that well known law
generally applies. The one that ensures that the breakdown occurs just
at the time when your most urgent 'rush consignment' has to be loaded.
Avoid the hassle, and the expense - have the machine serviced regularly. |
 |
| Docklevellers - whether
mechanical or hydraulically operated - are an essential link in
the loading process. Getting the maximum amount of product into or
out of a trailer in the shortest time, using the least resources.
Keep your machines in reliable working order by having them inspected and serviced regularly. Routine maintenance, if carried out properly, will help reduce downtime and therefore keep your product flowing for less cost. |
