  • When the light has been on for 30 minutes or more, with no loading activity, an auto-dimming feature reduces the light output to its lowest setting.

Loading Dock Bumpers

Protect your investment

Loading dock bumpers that are damaged, missing, or misapplied can cause backing trailers to make contact with your building. This can cause structural damage that can potentially be costly to repair. Rite-Hite’s complete line of heavy-duty dock bumpers can help provide solutions for every truck dock application at your facility

  • Minimize downtime
  • Cut maintenance costs

Weatherseals

Around the sides of your dock leveler, gaps are created between the leveler and the concrete loading dock pit wall.

If these gaps are left uncovered they can become as large as a 14″ by 14″ hole in your wall and could cost $557 annually. (Based on a climate in Cincinnati, OH)

Installing energy efficient loading dock leveler weatherseals by Rite-Hite Aftermarket will close the gaps and will help reduce your heating and cooling costs. In many cases, these weatherseals will pay for themselves in four months or less.

Safe-T-Signal

Safe-T-Signal Warning System

Help prevent accidents where people and material handling equipment share the same space in your facility with Rite-Hite’s Safe-T-Signal Warning System. The Safe-T-Signal Warning System detects traffic from all directions and communicates with high-visibility traffic control LED symbols to the oncoming traffic. 

If traffic is detected approaching from one direction, then an amber LED yield signal is presented to the other directions. When traffic is detected from two or more directions then a red LED stop signal will be presented to the approaching traffic and a blue LED light will illuminate on the floor; directions with no detected traffic will be presented with an amber LED signal

The Rite-Hite Safe-T-Signal™ Warning System is perfect for blind corners and busy intersections at any warehouse.

  • Adjustable zone sensitivity
  • Actively detects oncoming traffic
  • High Visibility LED Signals
  • Easy to install
  • Configure for 2-way, 3-way or 4-way traffic
