Rite-Hite (Booth S2347) is showcasing its latest dock safety solution at ProMat. The GuardRite Dok-Gate helps protect materials handling equipment and pedestrians from the dangerous loading dock drop-off with the push of a button. This powered, two polymer-rail, vertical-rising gate is OSHA-compliant, meeting all standards for fall protection and walking-working surfaces.
“It’s common for loading dock openings to have a four-foot drop-off,” said Fin Livingston, director of product management. “This is a dangerous situation, which is why OSHA mandates that workplaces protect employees from falls using a safety barrier.”
The GuardRite Dok-Gate is engineered to last. The product’s impactable, recyclable polymer rails are designed to absorb incidental impacts, stopping up to 30,000 pounds. This lowers maintenance costs and reduces accident-related downtime for reliable performance.
For advanced safety, the GuardRite Dok-Gate can be interlocked with other loading dock equipment, including Rite-Hite's Dok-Lok vehicle restraint.
