W.E. Carlson—Facility Productivity Solutions: Reduce Dock Downtime, Speed Up Loading and Unloading

Productivity

Today’s business environment dictates that facilities work faster, better and smarter just to stay competitive, or to meet stakeholder expectations. While some negative influences on efficiency are unexpected, there are many ways to proactively enhance employee and plant productivity.

Reduce Dock Downtime

Loading dock door damage leads to closed docks and can be a major source of frustration for maintenance managers. Save money on costly repairs and keep your supply chain moving at its greatest potential with several door-related productivity solutions from W.E. Carlson.

G-FLEX™ Universal Door
Rite-Hite’s new G-FLEX™ Universal Door shrugs off inadvertent fork truck impacts, resisting damage by flexing and absorbing rather than breaking away. No more resetting doors, no special tools for maintenance or repair.


Steel-Rite™ II Sectional Door The Steel-Rite™ II Sectional Door performs and looks similar to conventional doors, but can withstand common impacts. In fact, the door pays for itself after it withstands just one impact.		GX-4000 Universal Replacement Panel Replace damaged panels with the GX-4000 Universal Replacement Panel. The fully impactable GX-4000 can be retrofitted to most existing sectional doors up to 12'2' in length, and can be used to replace bottom, intermediate or top panels.

Speed Up Loading & Unloading and Minimize Product Damage

For your forklift operators, driving over traditional leveler hinge gaps is like driving over highway rumble strips or speed bumps. Rite Hite’s Smooth Transition Dok System™ provides the smoothest path between your dock floor and the trailer, so your drivers don’t have to slow to a crawl while loading and unloading to eliminate product damage.

Smooth Transition Dock Levelers
Smooth Transition Levelers help eliminate the gaps of traditional levelers, reducing bumps and jolts 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, giving forklift drivers peace-of-mind that they—and the product they’re transporting—are safe, and giving them less reason to slow down during product loading and unloading.
