SAFE-T-LIP Dock Levelers Offer Full-Time Safety At Inland Container
Inland Container, Indianapolis, Ind., manufactures re-printed liner board at its 55,000 square-foot facility. Operating 24 hours per day, seven days per week, Inland ships more than 500 tons of material each week. Plant engineer, Mike Connaughton states:
“I see the benefits of SAFE-T-LIP levelers every time a forklift driver backs into a vacant dock position to pull down roll-stock. Without the SAFE-T-LIP barrier, should a forklift driver hit the accelerator instead of the brake, that driver could go right off the dock. I couldn’t imagine not having these levelers in place—the barrier means full-time safety, even when trucks aren’t at the docks.
“One of our primary considerations when purchasing dock equipment is how it improves safety, that’s why choosing these dock levelers was a natural. Rite-Hite SAFE-T-LIP levelers provide a full 7-inch barrier against potential disaster.
“In addition to easing our mind about accidents, the levelers are very low maintenance—really worry-free. I wouldn’t consider buying any other type of leveler."
