Name the bay and the equipment involved
Identify the site and loading bay, then describe whether the concern involves the overhead door, its operator, or another piece of dock equipment. If the component is uncertain, say so and provide a safe overall photograph. Do not use a general “dock broken” description when the site contains several systems that may require different service scopes.
Describe the current operating impact
Record the door position, visible issue, and whether the bay is currently available under the site’s procedures. Note affected deliveries or vehicle movements without directing anyone through a restricted area. Follow the site’s established process for reporting and isolating unsafe equipment. The service request should communicate the condition, not prescribe a workaround for the dock team.
Prepare the assessment handoff
Name the person who can meet the provider and authorize the proposed work. Supply equipment records that are already available, along with relevant prior service references. Ask the provider to confirm which equipment their assessment covers. Keep findings concerning other dock systems separate so an overhead-door repair does not accidentally close an unrelated equipment issue.

Before you proceed
Should every dock problem be reported as an overhead-door fault?
Name the affected equipment when known and mark it unknown when it is not. A loading bay can involve different systems and service scopes. Ask the provider to confirm what their assessment covers so unrelated equipment issues remain visible to the responsible site team.
