HERE’S WHAT A REAL LOADING DOCK ACCIDENT LOOKS LIKE.  WATCH NOW.
Accidents like the one you just watched happen every day, but sometimes it takes seeing it to realize the severity of the problem.  These accidents can be prevented.

Here are some staggering facts about forklift accidents each year:

  • Over 68,000 forklift accidents occur
  • 4,760 involve the forklift falling off the loading dock
  • 90,000 suffer injuries (multiple injuries per accident)
  • 100 are killed

Don’t let these statistics include you or anyone in your facility.

PROTECT YOURSELF  & YOUR EMPLOYEES – BEFORE AN ACCIDENT REQUIRES ACTION
Help prevent forklifts from falling off your loading dock.

Rite-Hite Barrier Systems offer simple ways to save lives and prevent injuries.  Rite-Hite’s Dok-Guardian Safety Barrier is an innovative, proven solution designed to help prevent workplace accidents.  Capable of stopping 10,000 pounds at 4 miles per hour, the Dok-Guardian can help prevent your forklifts from falling off the loading dock – a serious 4 foot drop, and it could have prevented the forklift accident you just watched.  The Dok-Guardian addresses OSHA 1910.23 regarding “protection for wall openings and holes”.

Learn more about the Dok-Guardian and other safety barrier solutions.

Rite-Hite also offers dock levelers with a Safe-T-Lip barrier option to prevent forklifts, carts or other material handling equipment from running off the loading dock.

The Safe-T-Lip is a 5″ or 7″ high steel barrier that can withstand the impact of a 10,000 pound forklift traveling at 4 miles per hour.

The Safe-T-Lip is available on hydraulic or air powered levelers.  The Safe-T-Lip is also available as an upgrade to existing Rite-Hite dock levelers.
