Case Study – Emerson Increases Safety and Visibility at the Dock

Case Study – Emerson Increases Safety and Visibility at the Dock

Emerson Climate Technologies, the leading provider of heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration solutions, ships more than 1.2 million dollars of product daily through 30 docks in its 130,000 square foot facility. With 25-30 truckloads and two shifts running every day, supervisors desired the most secure and safe procedures possible. Like any other warehouse, the Emerson facility had its challenges. They needed to:

• Reduce the risks of costly forklift-pedestrian collisions.
• Increase communication and visibility.
• Avoid catastrophic accidents due to trailer separation from the dock.

To address these critical safety challenges, Emerson decided to invest in Dok-Lok Vehicle Restraints with the Rite-Vu™ Light Communication System, which provides clear, visual communication to the right person, at the right time, and at the right location. Rite-Vu is the only system that visually indicates when a forklift is working inside a trailer so that pedestrians can exercise proper caution and guard against the forklift backing out. In short, Rite-Vu provides unbeatable visual communication at the dock.
