Scheduled Maintenance
Save money by keeping docks and doors in tip top shape!
Whether your dock levelers, doors, or truck restraints were installed by Barron or not, we can help keep your equipment in the best shape possible to avoid costly service calls, eliminate downtime and prevent accidents or injuries.
We Got You Covered
Whether your equipment was installed by Barron or another provider, our team keeps your docks, doors, and other equipment running safely & reliably.
Opting for regular scheduled maintenance is the best way to meet compliance for OSHA, FDA, and environmental issues.
It’s important to have your equipment tuned up at least twice a year. This helps prolong the life of springs, as well as cables and other various parts. Maintenance helps prevent noisy equipment as well as any other potential issues that could arise.

How Often Do I Need Scheduled Maintenance?
It depends! If docks and doors are used multiple times a day, then we would recommend quarterly scheduled maintenance to prevent downtime. If docks and doors undergo moderate use, then bi-annual or annual maintenance would be fine as well. Either way, we highly recommend scheduled maintenance to anyone with docks or doors to be proactive and prevent repairs and accidents.
