The equipment is rated to withstand repeated impacts by a 10,000 lb. load moving at 4 mph. Standard units are 12’1” wide and include stanchion, barrier arm, and receiver pocket in safety yellow for ease of recognition. Also available are customized widths and gusseted models to protect the bottom panel of overhead doors.
This is a completely independent system designed to provide added safety at the dock to assist in the prevention of accidentally driving or backing off the edge of the dock with a leveler in the stored position.
Using simple, easily available 115V/1PH power for operation of the 1.5 HP self-contained power unit in conjunction with an easy to understand control panel makes this an extremely attractive addition to safety at your dock
The stanchion, barrier arm and receiver pocket, all in high visibility safety yellow, can also be utilized at docks with no dock levelers at all to provide the same high level of protection to fork lifts at the dock.
