The vertical storing dock leveler fits a wide variety of facility needs. Its hydraulic push-button operation keeps up with fast-paced warehouse environments, while benefits like environmental control allows it to meet the requirements of facilities such as food & beverage or cold storage.
Choose a Rite-Hite Vertical Dock Leveler with 360 degrees of protection for your supply chain. The hydraulic leveler’s upright position helps protect cargo inside the facility by limiting points of entry and eliminating potential contamination through environmental control. Coupled with pedestrian safety features, such as the Smooth Transition Dok System®, Safe-T-Pit®, and over-center tilt-back storage, a vertical storing leveler helps keep employees safe from injury before, during, and after the loading and unloading process.
Vertical Storing Dock Leveler Benefits:
Vertical Storing Position: Overhead door closes all the way to the leveler pit floor, completely sealing door opening when dock is not in use and acts as a visible barrier to the dock area when stored, providing protection for the overhead door.
Convenient Drive-Thru Design: Featuring option for drive-thru design, the levelers enable trailer doors to open and close within the facility, enhancing safety and smooth operations without personnel stepping onto the drive approach.
Temperature Control and Environmental Regulation: Complete 4-sided perimeter seal, combined with suitable seal / shelter configurations, helps ensure effective temperature control, maintaining ideal conditions for transported goods in both the facility and trailer.
Safe Sequence of Operation:Combined controls are programmable to provide safe, sequential operation in a custom sequence for all Rite-Hite loading dock equipment. Optional mast allows leveler controls to be mounted alongside the leveler, providing a full view of the loading dock and leveler pit during operation.
Loading Dock Automation Best Practice: Vertical storing levelers with drive-thru application help protect investments in automation technologies by helping to prevent interaction with harmful outside elements. This loading dock design also allows for Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) to be integrated with the combination mast controls for a better connected sequence of operation.
Enhanced Pedestrian Safety in Leveler Pit: Safe-T-Pit® sensor enhances safety by automatically disabling leveler operation upon detecting motion in the leveler pit, helping prevent accidents during operations.
Vibration Reduction and Operator Safety: The innovative Smooth Transition Dok System® minimizes whole body vibration, helping protect forklift drivers and other personnel's exposure to injuries caused by frequent vibrations, while also extending equipment lifespan.
Effortless Hydraulic Operation: Vertical storing levelers offer simple and safe hydraulic push-button operation, streamlining loading and unloading processes for operational efficiency.
