The loading dock, an accident waiting to happen. Vacant drop-off Leveler maintenance A false sense of security. Don’t leave them hanging. The average drop from a loading dock floor into the drive approach is 4 feet (1.2 m). At this height OSHA regulation dictates that companies install adequate protection against falls. When raised for maintenance or pit clean out a dock leveler, weighing in excess of 2,000 lbs (907 kg), is suspended in mid-air. It’s vulnerable to forklift traffic and power to the equipment may be intact. All support struts are not created equal, and when proper precautions...
