Fall Protection for Lifts Used in Loading Dock Operations

One grocery customer had multiple applications in which employees used lifts in dock operations to transfer material from delivery trucks to ground level. Fall protection was needed on every lift employees used to handle material. Because each lift was in a fairly unique environment, our team created multiple safety gate configurations based on the operation of each lift. The Dock-Lift safety gate configuration most popular in the grocery chain was one in which the gates moved in a crossing-guard style pattern. As the lift elevates, the gates automatically close and lock into place.
