Loading Dock

The dock leveler that fails under a loaded pallet jack is the one nobody checked that morning.

A dock leveler bridges a loaded trailer dozens of times a shift, and a worn lip or failed spring shows up as a dropped load, not a warning. A QR tag by the dock door makes the check routine.

How it works

Three steps from sticker to audit trail

No rollout project and no training day. The tag on the dock leveler is the entire interface.

1

Tag every dock leveler

Durable QR labels arrive pre-registered to your account. Nothing onthe sticker identifies you — the link between tag and company lives on the server.

2

First scan sets it up

Scanning an unclaimed code walks you through naming the dock leveler, choosing a checklist and setting how often it needs checking.

Every scan after is the record

Anyone with a phone sees when it was last inspected and files the next one. Overdue dock levelers surface before an inspector finds them.

On the checklist

What a dock leveler check actually covers

Start from a checklist that already knows the job, then change anything you want. Before each shift, or before each trailer if usage is heavy..

  • Lip extends and retracts fully
  • No visible cracks in deck plate welds
  • Springs or hydraulics hold leveler in position
  • Toe guards intact on both sides
  • Dock light and wheel chocks present

Why it has to be provable

The people who will ask

Dock equipment manufacturers and general liability insurers expect documented pre-use checks on levelers and dock plates, since a structural failure under load is a foreseeable and costly claim.

Dock workers are focused on throughput. A safety check feels like it'll just get skipped.

The scan takes less time than positioning the trailer, and it's tied to the specific dock door, not a generic form. If the leveler starts sticking or the deck shows a crack, the photo goes on record right at the point someone noticed it.

Why teams switch

Built for warehouse operations managers; dock workers or forklift operators check the leveler before use.

The spreadsheet was never the problem. Proving the check actually happened is.

Evidence, not assertions

Every inspection carries its timestamp, the person who filed it and the photos they took. A record that cannot be back-dated is worth more than one that can.

Overdue surfaces itself

Assets past their interval are flagged on the dashboard and emailed to whoever owns them, so a missed check is noticed by you and not by an inspector.
