OWNER RESPONSIBILITY
1. 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 equipment in
accordance with the information provided below.
The manufacturer shall publish, provide to the initial
purchaser, and make the following information
readily available to owners:
• Installation instructions
• Recommended initial and periodic inspections
procedures
• Maintenance procedures
• Operating instructions
• Descriptions or specifications for replaceable or
repairable parts
• Tables identifying the grade (slope) for all
variations of length or configuration of the dock
equipment, and
• Information identifying the maximum uncontrolled
drop encountered upon sudden removal of
support while within the working range of the
equipment.
It shall be the responsibility of the owner to verify
that the material listed in this section has been
received and that it is made available for the
instruction and training of presonnel entrusted with
the use or maintenance of the dock equipment.
2. When a transport vehicle is parked at a loading
dock, it is important that the vehicle is relatively
perpendicular to the dock face and in close contact
with at least one of the dock bumpers.
3. Nameplates, cautions, instructions, and posted
warnings shall not be obscured from the view of
operating or maintenance personnel for whom such
warnings are intended.
4. 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.
5. As with any piece of machinery, dock equipment
requires routine maintenance, lubrication, and
adjustments. Your local RITE-HITE
® representative
offers owners the option of a Planned Maintenance
Program (P.M.P.). As part of this service, your local
RITE-HITE
® representative will do all routine
maintenance, lubrication, and adjustments.
6. Dock equipment that is structurally damaged shall
be removed from service, inspected by a
manufacturer’s authorized representative, and
repaired as needed before being placed back in
service.
7. The manufacturer shall make available replacement
nameplates, caution/instruction labels, and
operating/maintenance manuals upon request of
the owner. The owner shall see that all nameplates,
caution/instruction markings or labels are in place
and legible, and that the appropriate
operating/maintenance manuals are provided to
users.
8. Modifications or alterations of dock equipment shall
be made only with written permission of the original
manufacturer. These changes shall also satisfy all
safety recommendations of the original equipment
manufacturer for the particular application of the
dock equipment.
9. When industrial trucks 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 a positive
restraining device shall be engaged.
10. In selecting dock equipment, it is important to
consider not only present requirements but also
future plans or adverse environments.
