OWNER’S RESPONSIBILITIES
The owner’s responsibilities include the following:
The owner should recognize the inherent danger of the
interface between dock and transport vehicle. The
owner should, therefore, train and instruct operators in
the safe use of dock leveling devices.
When a transport vehicle is positioned as closely as
practicable to a dock leveling device, there shall be at
least 4” of overlap between the front edge of the lip and
the edge of the floor or sill of the transport vehicle.
(See
Figure 20)
The owner shall see that all nameplates, caution and
instruction markings or labels are in place and that the
appropriate operating and maintenance manuals are
provided to users and shall not be obscured from the
view of operating or maintenance personnel for whom
such warnings are intended.
Manufacturer’s recommended periodic maintenance
and inspection procedures in effect at date of shipment
shall be followed, and written records of the
performance of these procedures should be kept.
Dock leveling devices that are structurally damaged or
have experienced a sudden loss of support while under
load, such as might occur when a transport vehicle is
pulled out from under the dock leveling device, shall be
removed from service, inspected by the manufacturer’s
authorized representative, and repaired as needed
before being placed back in service.
Modifications or alterations of dock leveling devices
shall be made only with written permission of the
original manufacturer.
When industrial vehicles are driven on and off transport
vehicles during the loading and unloading operation, the
brakes on the transport vehicle shall be applied and
wheel chocks or positive restraints that provide the
equivalent protection of wheel chocks engaged.
The dock leveler should never be used outside its
vertical working range or vertical lifting range or outside
the manufacturer’s labeled rated capacity. See
Capacity Section (Page 7). It must also be compatible
with the loading equipment and other conditions
relating to the dock.
