Manual vs. Automatic Vehicle Restraints

Overall, the smartest vehicle restraint is the one that best fits your application needs. Whether manual or automatic, it is important that your choice:

  • Maintains constant communication inside and out
  • Facilitates additional safety solutions
  • Helps keep your loading dock efficient and safe

Dok-Lok v. Wheel Chocks

While portable and seemingly cost-efficient, wheel chocks often slip, get misplaced, stolen or crushed, and are hindered by weather conditions. They also require physical placement by employees – which means your people are placed in harm’s way on the drive approach. Most importantly, simple wheel chocks do not offer communication between dock workers and truck drivers, increasing the potential for hazardous premature departure and other separation accidents.

Know Your Risks at the Loading Dock

With over 100,000 forklift crossings per leveler annually, dangerous loading dock separation accidents can occur in many different ways. Dok-Loks help prevent these costly hazards, such as:

  • Trailer Creep (Dock Walk)
  • Early Departure
  • Trailer Pop-Up or Up-Ending
  • Landing Gear Collapse

Importance of Communication at the Loading Dock

Clear, concise communication sets the stage for safety and productivity. Incorporating lights along with audible and visual alarms can have an immediate, positive impact at the loading dock. From red and green lights which inform dock personnel when they can safely proceed with loading activities to audible and visual alarms that notify personnel when they need to vacate the drive approach, Rite-Hite offers solutions for a safer, more productive facility!

Benefits

  • Unique Chock Profile – Manually positioned extra-long footbed allows the trailer to maintain continuous downward force, helping to reduce potential hazardous movement during loading.
  • Constant Operational Communication – Ultra-sonic sensor in the wheel chock integrates to the Dok-Lok Style controls via 10’ coil cord providing audible and visual alarms to help clearly indicate safe constant chock engagement.
  • Communication and Control – Dok-Lok® Style Light Communication communicates via interior lights when trailer is properly engaged, thus safe for material handlers to enter.
  • Help Prevent Backover Fatalities – Optional Approach-Vu™ presents a clear audible and visual warning to pedestrians manually chocking tires in the drive approach when a backing vehicle is detected.
  • Help Prevent Trailer Separation Accidents – GWC-1000 helps to prevent early departure and trailer creep, while a trailer stand can assist with landing gear collapse and trailer upending.
  • Certified to meet and exceed ANSI MH30.3 performance testing standards.

Rite-Hite Communication and Control allows facilities to:

  • Integrate additional/future equipment and interlocked sequence of operations with Dok-Lok® Style Light Communication System.
  • Incorporate line of sight light communication system status with Corner-Vu™ and Leveler-Vu™.
  • Extend Blue Light Policy to help prevent 80,000 annual forklift-pedestrian accidents by extending reaction time with Pedestrian-Vu™.
  • Help prevent 2nd leading cause of backover fatalities in the United States with Approach-Vu™, which utilizes a light and horn system to present a clear visual and audible warning to pedestrians in the drive approach when a backing vehicle is detected.
  • Verify Dok-Lok engagement and trailer stand presence via outside camera and inside monitor with Lok-Vu™, reducing the amount of processes on the dangerous drive approach.
  • Integrate multiple loading dock control components at each dock position for a total dock safety system with Dok-Commander® Combined Controls.

All components are available as standalone or incorporated with Dok-Lok Style Light Communication System. The Dok-Lok Style Light Communication System offers more flexibility, facilitating the greatest long-term yield per dock position. The system allows facilities to address their most urgent safety needs first but reserving the opportunity to integrate vehicle restraints and other safety solutions at a fraction of the cost compared to standalone equipment purchases.
