Preventative Maintenance
Preventative maintenance (PM) is a proactive approach to equipment care that focuses on routine inspections, servicing, and repairs to prevent unexpected failures. Rather than waiting for equipment to break down, PM ensures that components are regularly checked and maintained, minimizing downtime and costly emergency repairs.
In the dock and door industry, where equipment such as dock levelers, overhead doors, vehicle restraints, and seals are essential for daily operations, preventative maintenance is critical in ensuring safety, efficiency, and longevity. Regular servicing helps identify worn-out parts, misalignments, or mechanical issues before they escalate into major failures, reducing the risk of operational disruptions and workplace accidents.

Testimonials
My wife and I were expecting our second child and planned to utilize a bedroom above the garage as a nursery. However, the garage door opener was extremely loud and could be heard (and felt) throughout most of the second floor. Apple installed the Viper opener, nylon wheels, and vibration isolators. Now I cannot hear a thing! Great product and well worth the investment.
Gordon B. - Chesterfield, VA
I just wanted to thank you, your staff and technicians for the incredible quick response. I received a call from Lisa at the Williamsburg store first thing this morning. The technician was able to stop by today to inspect the garage door opener and I had an estimate faxed to me before noon. Again, thank you for the very prompt and professional way in which my request was handled.
Anita C. - Tidewater, VA
Not only is that Viper quiet, but I actually enjoy listening to it purr as it slowly slides down it's track. Maybe that novelty will wear off, but in the meantime you could ask me to do an ad for the company and I'd be convincing. I know it sounds ...a bit strange, but after 18 years of our grinding garage motor, I may be in love with it.
Laurie T. - Richmond, VA
Your whole staff: the lady in the office, the lady that stopped by to check the door and the installer were just good, caring and capable people. No wonder that your business has been open since 1973. The people made the difference.

I want to express my absolute satisfaction with your service department. You are obviously blessed with highly trained professional technicians. I want to also thank whoever retrieved my voicemail and promptly dispatched these highly qualified people to correct my problem.
Larry T. - Colonial Heights, VA
I not only received prompt service but the young service man was so professional in his work. He laid out his needed tools, got his parts in order and did his work in a neat and safe way. He was most polite and it was a pleasure to have such a competent mechanic working on my 16 ft. door.

Key Benefits of Preventative Maintenance
- Cost Savings: Avoid expensive emergency repairs and extend the lifespan of equipment.
- Increased Safety: Prevent mechanical failures that could lead to injuries or hazards.
- Operational Efficiency: Reduce downtime and keep loading docks and doors functioning smoothly.
- Regulatory Compliance: Ensure equipment meets safety and operational standards.
Beyond these immediate benefits, preventative maintenance also enhances overall productivity. Well-maintained dock and door equipment allows for seamless logistics, ensuring that goods move efficiently in and out of facilities without costly interruptions. It also improves energy efficiency by maintaining proper sealing and insulation, reducing energy loss and lowering operational costs.
A well-structured PM program includes scheduled inspections, lubrication, adjustments, and part replacements as needed. By partnering with experienced service providers, businesses can customize maintenance plans based on usage levels, environmental conditions, and manufacturer recommendations.
Ultimately, preventative maintenance is an investment in reliability, safety, and long-term cost savings. By staying ahead of potential issues, companies in the dock and door industry can protect their assets, enhance worker safety, and maintain uninterrupted operations.
