Rite-Vu™ Hazard Recognition and Control 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, Arbon Equipment offers solutions for a safer, more productive facility.

Rite-Vu™ Hazard Recognition and Control allows facilities to:

  • Introduce light communication to the loading dock, regardless of restraint type, with Rite-Vu™ Light Communication Systems.
  • Incorporate line of sight Rite-Vu™ Light Communication System status with Corner-Vu™ and Leveler-Vu™.
  • Extend Blue Light Policy to help prevent 80,000 annual forklift-pedestrian accidents by increasing reaction time at the loading dock with Pedestrian-Vu™.
  • Directly address 2nd leading cause of backover fatalities in the United States by communicating hazards to pedestrians in the drive approach with Approach-Vu™.
  • Confirm Dok-Lok® engagement while verifying trailer stand presence via outside camera and inside monitor with Lok-Vu™.
  • Take control of each dock position by monitoring total duration of loading dock activities, helping workers to prioritize loading with the Dok-Lok® Dock Timer.
  • Integrate additional and future equipment along with interlocked sequence of operations with Dok-Lok® Style Light Communication System.
  • Integrate multiple pieces of loading dock equipment into programmable safe sequence of operations with Dok-Commander® Combined Controls.
  • Monitor equipment, capture events, synchronize vital information and facilitate data-driven behaviors and process change with Opti-Vu® IIoT Platform .

Rite-Vu™ Hazard Recognition and Control components are available as standalone solutions or incorporated with compatible Rite-Hite® control systems. The interlocked controls offer more flexibility than Traffic-Style Light Communication Systems, facilitating the greatest long-term yield per dock position. Facilities are able to address their most urgent safety needs first while reserving the opportunity to integrate Dok-Lok vehicle restraints and other safety solutions at a fraction of the cost compared to standalone equipment purchases.
