Is Your Rusty and Worn-Out Scissor Dock Lift Safe?

Posted by Maria Lacanlale on July 12, 2019

Dock lifts and scissor lifts are exposed to many hazards, such as truck and weather damage. Many times, their structure and hydraulic parts are found sitting in water. Rust is the number one reason that a dock lift needs to be replaced.

Some industrial lifts are intended to be used for the elevation of personnel. Devices such as handrails, gates and snap chains are typically provided by the manufacturer and should be in good condition at all times.  Do not attempt to use the lift if any safety service is not in place and is not functioning as it was intended.

If the scissor lift or the dock lift is found to be in need of repair or in any way unsafe, or contributes to an unsafe condition, the matter shall be reported immediately to the user's designated authority, and the lift shall not be operated until it has been restored to safe operating condition.

Industrial lifts may become hazardous if maintenance is neglected or repairs or adjustments are performed contraty to the manufacturer's instruction plates, tags, or decals including all precautionary labeling and instructions shall be maintained in legible condition.
