How to Inspect Loading Dock Surfaces Before a Repaint

MILWAUKEE WI, USA,

Dock surfaces take impact and weather. A short inspection before painting avoids paying for coatings that will not last.

Key Takeaways

  • Check for impact damage and rust.
  • Look for moisture and failing coatings.
  • Plan prep and access.
  • Schedule around deliveries.

What to inspect

Walk walls, doors, bollards and rails. Note dents, rust and peeling. Photograph problems.

Prep needs

Rust needs treatment before coating. Dirty or chalking surfaces need cleaning. Prep time often exceeds painting time.

Access and timing

Plan lifts, traffic and weather. Choose days with limited deliveries.
