TRUCK RESTRAINTS
TRUCK RESTRAINTS
Each year, tens of thousands of American workers are injured in forklift related accidents, many the result of the forklift falling off the edge of the loading dock. In a busy loading dock area, this can easily occur due to sloppy parking, trailer creep or premature truck departures. ERTO's  Planned Maintenance Programs for your loading dock and warehouse equipment may be the best thing you can do to ensure long equipment life, provide peace of mind that it’s operating at peak efficiency and help keep your employees and others SAFE. Regular, preventative maintenance helps limit unexpected loading dock service or repair calls and the expense associated with them. Below is a some of the items we look for and repair.
