Dock Leveler & Door PM Scheduler
A free dock position maintenance register: last service, interval, due date and overdue alerts — sorted by urgency, stored in your browser.
Your register stays in this browser (localStorage) — nothing is uploaded.
Add your first dock position to see the schedule. Sorted by urgency, the next due item is always on top.
Field notes from maintenance practice
Dock positions fail as a system — leveler, vehicle restraint, door, shelter, lights — and the register works best with one line per position covering the set, because the truck doesn't care which component stranded it. Restraint function checks are the safety line: a restraint that doesn't hold is worse than none, since drivers and forklift operators trust the green light.
Photograph leveler lip hinges and weld seams annually — cracks grow slowly and photos make the comparison trivial. Run the register on whatever device lives where the work happens — a workshop tablet beats a spreadsheet on someone's laptop, because the person doing the job sees the list.

About Dock Leveler & Door PM Scheduler
This scheduler keeps a living register of your dock positions: add each one with its last service date and interval, and the board computes due dates, sorts by urgency and flags anything overdue or due within 14 days. One tap (✓) marks a service done and restarts that asset's clock. Dock levelers, restraints and high-cycle doors typically take quarterly PM (hydraulics/springs, restraint function, door tracks and springs), monthly at positions cycling 50+ trucks a week.

Frequently asked questions
How often should a dock position be serviced or inspected?+
Dock levelers, restraints and high-cycle doors typically take quarterly PM (hydraulics/springs, restraint function, door tracks and springs), monthly at positions cycling 50+ trucks a week. Severe duty, harsh environments or regulatory requirements shorten it — and your OEM manual, insurer or local code always takes precedence over the generic default.
Door springs keep breaking on our busiest dock doors — maintenance gap or wrong spec?+
Probably spec: torsion springs are rated in cycles (10k standard), and a door cycling 40 times a day eats 10k cycles in a year — breaking springs annually right on schedule. The fix is buying high-cycle springs (25k–100k) for busy positions, not blaming the PM. Meanwhile the quarterly line should check balance (a door that drifts down is out of balance and loading the operator/opener) and track/roller wear, which is what actually prevents the dangerous failures.
Some of my units work much harder than others — same interval for all?+
No — set per-asset intervals: this register stores an interval with each dock position, so the hard-worked unit can run a shorter clock than the spare. Halving the interval for severe duty (dust, heat, continuous running) is the standard rule of thumb, and the due list re-sorts automatically.
A service was missed by months — restart the clock or double up?+
Do the full service now and reset the clock from today (the ✓ button does exactly that). Don't 'average' missed intervals — inspect more thoroughly than usual instead, because the dock position just ran an unplanned extended interval and any developing problem had extra time to grow.
