RHV Vertical Storing Dock Leveler From Rite-Hite

Rite-Hite's RHV Vertical Storing Hydraulic Dock Leveler offers maximum environmental and security control and a smooth transition between the warehouse floor and the trailer bed.

How do you control your dock environment, while keeping it cleaner and safer for your workers?

With a vertical storing hydraulic dock leveler from RITE HITE -- the key component of an integrated system designed for today's dock traffic. Allowing you to maximize the safety and productivity of your operation.

By enabling your overhead door to close down to the pit floor, a vertical storing dock leveler helps maintain better environmental control over humidity and temperature. It also helps eliminate dust, insects and rodents from entering your environment.

And a tight seal is created, which provides additional security by minimizing points of entry when the dock is not being used.

A vertical storing dock leveler also makes pit cleaning quick and easy, minimizing the build-up of dirt and debris.
And finally, it improves the safety of your work area by acting as a visual pit barrier, helping to prevent potentially dangerous loading dock accidents.

But forklift accidents are not the only worry for dock operators today. The everyday health and well-being of workers, along with the associated costs, are also of concern.

One condition, known as Dock Shock, can pose a serious threat to your employee's health. Dock Shock is the constant jolting and jarring caused by a forklift crossing over the bumps and gaps of a traditional dock leveler, compounding the effects of whole-body vibration.
This can lead to the back or neck problems from which 21% of forklift drivers suffer.

A first-time back injury can cost your company as much as $10,000. And chronic back injuries can add up to $300,000 over time.

Only Rite Hite offers you the Smooth Transition Dok System. Consisting of a smooth transition dock leveler and the STR4000 Dok Lok vehicle restraint, it provides the smoothest ride between your facility floor and trailer. So you'll see fewer employee injuries, less product spills and damage, lower maintenance costs and higher productivity.

The RHV Vertical Storing Hydraulic Dock Leveler, part of the Smooth Transition Dok System, has been re-engineered along with Rite-Hite's traditional pit levelers for today's dock and forklift traffic.

The RHV features a two-point crown control on the front lip hinge that reduces the uncomfortable "speed bump" in the lift truck driver's path. And the constant-radius rear hinge reduces the gap felt by crossing over traditional hinges, ensuring a smoother passage.

You'll also get a safer leveler operation with the RHV, since there are no pull chains or mechanical locks to deal with.
And since safety is always a concern, constant pressure controls put your operator in control at all times, even during high-traffic conditions. As the operator pushes the control button, the leveler engages and the hydraulic system lowers the leveler safely into the bed of the trailer. The lip can be extended at any time during the cycle by pressing the button on the control station.

Use of a continuous or T-style pit provides unobstructed access to the vertical storing leveler.

The RHV also acts as an incidental barrier to protect your overhead door from impact when it's closed.
Plus, the use of biodegradable fluids makes the RHV environmentally friendly too.

With Rite-Hite's Drive-Thru Application, your facility is more secure and the interior climate is better controlled. And in a cold temperature facility, you can maintain an uninterrupted cold chain. Truck drivers don't need to get out of the cab. They simply back up to the closed-door dock, and once in position, the doors can be opened and the leveler lowered.
Because the RHV design is consistent with all of Rite-Hite's pit levelers, set-up requires less project management and installation time.

Rite-Hite's RHV Vertical Storing Hydraulic Leveler is part of a total integrated solution developed for today's loading dock needs. As part of the Smooth Transition Dok System, the STR4000 Dok Lok vehicle restraint stabilizes trailer movement and secures it to the dock, helping to reduce accidents, worker injuries and product or equipment damage.

The optional Frommelt VHLS Under-leveler seal provides a tight seal against the pit floor when the leveler is in use to help control energy loss as well as prevent dust and debris from entering the pit -- completing the ultimate package for your facility.

The RITE HITE RHV Vertical Storing Hydraulic Leveler, part of the Smooth Transition Dok System, balances safety and productivity. That's a very smooth move. < Previous Next >
