Carries loaded forklifts across the gap to the trailer, which makes hydraulic and lip integrity a safety matter rather than a convenience one. A dock out of service also removes a receiving slot from the schedule.
ChatterFix builds these as child assets under dock leveler, so failure history and PM completions attach to the component that actually failed — not just to the machine.
The failure modes worth designing a maintenance schedule around — in rough order of what they cost when they happen.
Recording that a PM was "done" tells you nothing next quarter. These are the readings that let you see a failure coming — and the reason ChatterFix captures measurements against the asset rather than just completions.
The parts whose absence turns a short repair into a long outage.
