Interlocked Sequence of Operations

An Interlocked Sequence of Operations helps facilities run a safer, more consistent loading dock process by linking key equipment into a customized sequence. Based on a facility's standard operating procedures, the controls help reduce human error, improve communication and keep dock activity moving with coordinated control.

Sequence of Operations

• Closed Door Policy allows controls to help keep the supply chain safe by verifying trailer position, engaging Dok-Lok®, opening the overhead door and raising the leveler in sequence.
• Open Door Policy helps secure trailers and protect employees by requiring a safe sequence before loading and unloading begins.
• Door Protection Sequence helps protect overhead doors and employees by requiring the door to open before the leveler operates.
• Custom Sequence is available through a Rite-Hite representative for facilities with unique operating procedures.
• Best Practice Sequence gives facilities a programmable option for a standard dock workflow.

Safety

• Safe sequence logic helps reduce human error at the loading dock.
• The system can help prevent forklift accidents by clearly showing restraint status before workers enter or exit trailers.
• It can help prevent trailer separation accidents by telling dock personnel when it is safe to move.
• Linked restraint controls can physically enhance building security when connected to an active security system.
• If an engaged restraint is tampered with, facility protocol can follow through the security system.

Communication & Control

• Dok-Lok Style Light Communication System uses a NEMA 4X rated user interface with membrane switch buttons.
• The centralized control panel integrates vehicle restraints, dock levelers, overhead doors, dock lights, dock fans and Rite-Vu™ hazard recognition and control. The system can communicate restraint status to material handlers entering and exiting the trailer.
• Line-of-sight light communication helps reduce miscommunication and unnecessary forklift traffic.
• The flexible control package uses updatable components and add-on features to adapt as needs change.
