 Fast forklifts, noise, obstructions, and a four-foot drop off are just some factors that make the loading dock dangerous.
There are more than 68,000 forklift accidents reported each year in the United States. Nearly 5,000 of these accidents are due to a lift truck running off the loading dock*. Many more incidents go unreported.
19" high barrier solidly secures trailer |
The MWL-1300 is ideal
for trailers with:
- Lift gates
- Damaged or missing rear impact guards (RIGs)
- RIG obstructions
The MWL protects against:
- The two most common types of trailer separation accidents
- Trailer creep/dock walk
- Early or unscheduled departure
Traditional wheel chocks provide a false sense of security for several reasons:
- Lack traction and can slip
- Lack a communication system
- Lack sufficient restraining force
- Trailers can pull over the chock
- Frequently damaged, misplaced, or stolen
- Create confusion between truck drivers and lift truck operators about who places them
- Require company policies to verify devices are properly positioned
*Latest statistics reported by the US Department of Labor, Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA). |
