Product Info
LOADING DOCK ACCIDENTS CAN HAVE SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES for any company — both in physical injuries and financial obligations. Yet, in many cases, they can be prevented with proper safeguards. Common accidents include:
- Forklifts driving off the dock because a vehicle leaves before loading or unloading is completed.
- Vehicles creeping away from the dock as forklifts continually move in and out during loading or unloading, creating a dangerous gap between the vehicle and the dock.
- Collapse of trailer landing gear due to constant rocking motion of forklifts moving in and out during loading.
