Light-Duty Dok-Guardian(TM) Safety Barrier Helps Increase Loading Dock Safety
MILWAUKEE--The Rite-Hite Aftermarket Corporation introduced the
Dok-Guardian(TM) SB-2500 Safety Barrier today. The Dok-Guardian Safety Barrier is designed to increase loading safety by helping to protect employees and equipment from falling off a vacant loading dock.
"With statistics indicating that 10 to 25 percent of all industrial accidents occur at or around the loading dock, we wanted to help prevent loading dock accidents," Rite-Hite Aftermarket President and CEO Paul Maly said. "The Dok-Guardian increases loading dock safety by providing a four-foot high visual barrier that stretches across the door opening that dock personnel can easily see."
The light-duty Dok-Guardian SB-2500 Safety Barrier is a yellow PVC coated fiberglass barrier that manually extends across an opening up to 10-feet 5-inches to help prevent employees and pallet jacks from falling off the dock.
When the Dok-Guardian Safety Barrier is manually placed in the active position, it provides a 44-inch tall highly visible barrier. The barrier incorporates three black heavy-duty polyester safety restraining straps to help the Dok-Guardian stop a 1,000-pound load traveling up to 4 miles per hour with little or no damage to the safety barrier.
A tension roller system helps the Dok-Guardian SB-2500 barrier easily extend or be placed in its active position by dock personnel. To place the Dok-Guardian in the active position, a dock attendant walks the barrier across the opening and positions it in the latch bracket.
To store or remove the Dok-Guardian Safety Barrier from the active position, the attendant removes the barrier from the latch bracket and walks it back across the opening to its stored or non-active position. The unique Warden door guards help keep the barrier out of harm's way when it is stored.
In addition, the Warden guards help prevent door tracks from being impacted by fork trucks. The 48-inch high Warden guards are made from three-sixteenth inch steel and are painted safety yellow for optimum dock protection. The Wardens also can be interchanged to allow the curtain to store on either side of the opening
