Keep your forklift drivers alive and well
The loading dock area is particularly hazardous and forklift drivers are exceptionally vulnerable. The only sure way to prevent early departure or trailer ‘creep’ is to restrain the vehicle. As the majority of accidents in the loading dock area are caused by lack of cooperation and communication, Caljan Rite-Hite recommends a full mechanical locking system; You either restrain the vehicle or you don’t. Halfway measures are an invitation to disaster.
The Caljan Rite-Hite ‘Wheel Lok’ is a surface-mounted restraint that effectively stops the vehicle from moving in all weather conditions. As the vehicle approaches, the trailer’s wheels activate a high-strength steel locking arm. This automatically positions itself based on the size of the tyre and rises to the optimum locking position. Once the trailer is in place, the dock attendant activates the lock. A bright LED on the outside of the building lights red. On the inside of the building, a corresponding green LED tells the forklift driver that it is safe to enter the trailer. Two wheel guides ensure accurate, on-centre trailer positioning which not only helps guarantee a tight, efficient dock seal, but can also help extend the life of the seal, bumpers and building wall.
The Caljan Rite-Hite ‘Wheel Lok’ has been in the market for 14 years and has become a proven safety necessity for some of the biggest names in the Supply Chain & Logistics industry.
