Global Wheel Chock features ultrasonic sensors integrated with dock controls, light communications safety system
Rite-Hite introduces its Global Wheel Chock, which provides an advanced chocking system that integrates with a Dok-Lok Style Light Communication System and is available with Rite-Vu auxiliary communication lights, approach detection system, camera engagement verification and smart dock alerts to enhance loading dock safety on a scalable budget.
The Global Wheel Chock differs from other traditionally offered wheel chocks in many ways. From the moment the trailer backs down the drive approach, the GWC, when paired with Approach-Vu, audibly and visually alerts outside personnel that a trailer is approaching. With tractor-trailer combinations comprising the 2nd leading cause of back over fatalities in the U.S. (OSHA), this protection is critical for any company with “boots on the ground” outside the facility.
