Safe-T-Lip Upgrade

Vacant loading docks can be dangerous for your personnel. Most dock levelers are not equipped to provide vacant dock dropoff protection.

Now, you can upgrade your current Rite-Hite hydraulic levelers with the Safe-T-Lip Upgrade. When Safe-T-Lip Upgrade is in the stored position, it provides a 7″ high steel barrier that withstands the impact of a 10,000 fork truck traveling at 3 to 4 mph.

The Safe-T-Lip Upgrade automatically folds into position once the leveler has completed its loading and unloading operation to help prevent fork trucks from traveling off the edge of an open dock.

Top of Dock Leveler

When varying trailer heights make loading difficult, the Hydraulic Top of Dock Leveler provides single-button, fully-hydraulic operation to easily create a bridge between the building floor and the trailer.

Requiring minimal time to install, this exclusive design simply bolts to the building floor, ultimately eliminating the need for concrete pit construction.  The Leveler’s recessed side curb feature allows the dock door to close on top of the leveler deck and bumper brackets.

The 9’ long and 12’ long decks reduce the forklift grade when entering the trailer from a low dock and the 102” wide unit can also be used to minimize grades for cart unloading applications.

• Service range is 0″ below dock +18″ above dock level
• Maximum capacity of 15,000 lbs.
• Requires 115v/1ph power
• Includes bumper brackets, door filler, and side guards
• Ships complete with all components for installation

Portable Railboards

To create a steadfast path for forklifts to traverse between the building floor and boxcars, manufacturers and warehousers are deploying Portable Railboards.  These heavy steel dock plates help rail shippers load and unload extremely heavy freight such as automotive racking, paper rolls, and building materials.  Custom-built to ensure a seamless fit for every customer, our portable railboards are designed with smart features that help protect forklift operators and preserve costly forklift tires:

• Self-Locking D-Rings:  Ensures the railboard automatically locks into place
• Recessed Side Curbs:  Reduces forklift “curb jumping” and provides a stable bridge into boxcars
• 3-Sided Lip Chamfer:  Improves 90-degree forklift turns and significantly reduces forklift “tire chunking” and need for replacement
• 5-Year Structural Warranty: Heavy steel design offers long-term stability vs. homemade or basic railboards with less durability
