Why does my dock leveler slowly sink or drift down?

That usually means hydraulic oil is bypassing a worn seal or valve, or leaking from a cylinder or hose. It is a safety concern because the deck can drop under a forklift.

Stop using the leveler and call Qasar Al Neil Automatic Doors to inspect the hydraulics, repair the leak and test the holding function.
