Loading Dock Communication & Safety Controls
Clear, concise communication is critical to safety at the loading dock. Light communication and alarms should clearly inform dock personnel when they can safely enter and exit a truck trailer and inform truck drivers when it is safe to depart.
Rite-Vu Hazard Recognition and Light Communication System |
|---|
The Rite-Vu™ system helps you stay a step ahead of the potential dangers in your path with a combination of components that use motion detection, line-of-sight notification, and audible alarms – providing instant hazard recognition and communication to pedestrians and material handling operators. It consists of four separate products, including: Approach-Vu, Pedestrian-Vu, Corner-Vu and Leveler-Vu.

Approach-Vu adds an additional layer of pedestrian safety outside of the building at the loading dock.
Features and Benefits
A motion sensor is mounted on the center-line, above the dock seal or shelter. It is aimed at the drive approach and it detects the motion of a backing trailer (up to 30 feet away).
A light and horn system, embedded in the Dok-Lok® vehicle restraint, presents a clear visual and audible warning to pedestrians in the drive approach when a backing vehicle is detected.
