Two weeks of downtime, freight backing up, safety at risk.
The customer had been experiencing a non-operational dock leveler for more than two weeks.
Although the dock still had electrical power, the platform would not move.
As freight continued arriving, pallets quickly accumulated around the loading area, reducing efficiency and creating safety concerns.
The customer needed a fast and accurate solution.
A methodical, four-step diagnostic
Our technician walked the dock leveler through a full electrical, hydraulic, control, and safety inspection to isolate the root cause.

Verified incoming power, breakers, and disconnects at the dock position.

Confirmed pump pressure and cylinder response under load.
