Back injuries can cost from $10,000 up to $300,000 for more chronic conditions. From forklift drivers being bounced around during trailer loading and unloading, to your line workers lifting and transporting heavy materials, the potential for employee injuries—not to mention lost man hours, steep medical bills and reduced productivity—is great. W.E. Carlson Corporation offers a diverse line-up of ergonomic-related products designed to protect your employees and your bottom line.

There’s a Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On

Smooth Transition Dok System™—Only From Rite-Hite
For your forklift operators, driving over traditional leveler hinge gaps is like driving over highway rumble strips or speed bumps. Add jolts of vertical movement during trailer loading and unloading, and you’ve got Whole Body Vibration. WBV leads to dangerous back and neck injuries, increased company medical costs and worker compensation claims, and lost hours. Rite Hite’s Smooth Transition Dok System™ provides the smoothest path between your dock floor and the trailer, protecting your employees and saving you thousands in medical, product damage and equipment repair costs.

Smooth Transition Dock Levelers
Smooth Transition Levelers help eliminate the gaps of traditional levelers, reducing WBV by up to 70%.

STR-4100 Dok Lok^�
The STR-4100 Dok Lok vehicle restraint stabilizes horizontal and vertical trailer movement and secures it to the dock, helping to avoid catastrophic trailer-separation accidents.

Reduce Heavy Lifting & Speed-Up Material Processing

Give your employees the tools they need to reduce the chance for injury while increasing productivity. Below is just a sample of the different products we offer!


Scissor Lift Scissor lift tables are the most versatile and popular in the lift type products, designed to reduce worker fatigue and risk of serious injury. Double scissor lifts provide a high-travel, adjustable work platform beyond a normal scissors lift table.		Portable Lift Portable lifts range from light-duty, foot-pump powered lifts that are ideal for small parts, maintenance shop and transporting items, to self-propelled skid lifts for heavier loads.


Turntable Turntables give workers the ability to turn the worktable instead of walking around it increasing productivity and potential for injury by reducing reaching, stretching or twisting in pallet loading or unloading. Available in manual or powered models.		Vacuum Lift Vacuum Lifts use the power of air combined with a hoist and crane system to move light-to-heavy loads safely and efficiently.
