This Safety Points issue has discussed many of the hazards and situations at loading docks – situations that put your employees – and others who use or visit your loading dock – at risk.  The Rite-Hite Company has developed a complete line of products to address loading dock safety issues.  These include:

•  Dok/Lok trailer restraints – electrically operated – much safer than wheel chocks - operated and controlled by your dock employees

• The latest hydraulically operated dock levelers
• Safety lip dock levelers – stop forklifts from running off docks
• Light communication packages enabling workers inside to communicate via a stop/go light system with truck drivers outside
• Improved trailer jack stands – for use with trailers left at your dock for loading and unloading without tractors attached
• Fall off protection – Dok Guardians
• Forklift operator and loading dock safety training
• Guard railing
• Fire restraint dock shelter and seal covers and pads
• Maintenance and service programs for loading dock equipment
