APPLIED HANDLING – MORE THAN A LOADING DOCK COMPANY
You may know Applied Handling as the expert in loading docks sales and service, however, we offer much more. In December’s blog we would like to explore the products and services that make Applied Handling the leaders of not only docks and doors, but the material handling industry as well. Would you like to read up on some of the special projects our experts have designed, managed and installed? Check out the Project Section on this website.
We’ll touch lightly on loading dock equipment. Applied Handling is the Michigan Distributor of Rite-Hite® Products.

Rite-Hite Industrial Fans slowly circulate a large amount of air. Air is pulled from above the fan and pushed down in a conical shape to the floor below. They are now being used in warehouses, distribution centers, gymnasiums, and a variety of other applications.
Rite-Hite industrial fans have benefits year-round. They keep people cool in the summer and in the winter can be used for de-stratification, a process that mixes warm air from the ceiling with cooler air at the floor. Creating a more comfortable environment while saving on energy costs.
With the Fan-Commander Touch Screen Control Station, users can optimize the year-round performance of Rite-Hite industrial fans throughout a single facility, maximizing the energy savings and comfort they deliver.
