RITE-HITE SHOWCASED FULL RANGE OF FULLY INTEGRATED LOADING BAY SAFETY SYSTEMS AT INTRALOGISTICA
Rite-Hite, a loading bay and industrial safety equipment manufacturer, presented its latest range of safety and efficiency innovations for the loading dock and warehouse environment at Intralogistica, including a preview of its new Dok-Guardian XL HD Safety Barrier which will be fully launched later this year.
The Dok-Guardian XL HD Safety Barrier is an extra-tall, high- visibility safety barrier designed to prevent falls from open loading docks and protect pedestrians and equipment, such as forklifts and pallet trucks from accidental run- offs. It features a high-strength fiberglass-reinforced curtain and tear-resistant tension straps to withstand high-impact collision and provide maximum security at the loading dock.
Alongside the new safety barrier, Rite-Hite exhibited its Global Wheel-Lok system to prevent early departure and accidents from trailer creep. The Global Wheel- Lok features automatic tire sizing
and a pullout force resistance up to 142kN. This solution will also be complemented by the TS-2000 Trailer Stand which helps prevent trailer tipping or landing gear collapse.
To address unwanted airflow from entering or leaving the warehouse, Rite-Hite's Eclipse Dock Shelter was digitally showcased on the stand. At the interface between trailer and loading dock, the shelter provides a tight, consistent seal up the trailer sides, across the top and at the corners blocking light and sealing gaps for a dark, environmentally- secure dock. The advanced design provides protection against dust and pests, and prevents wasted energy from escaping the facility thus saving significantly on cost.
Thorsten Mauritz, Director of Marketing and Product Management Europe at Rite-Hite, explained that Rite-Hite is more than just a ‘products’ business. He said: “Though we manufacture a wide range of products, we are first and foremost a solutions provider that takes a holistic approach to further improve safety, productivity and energy efficiency in and around the warehouse and logistics environment.
“Intralogistica provided the perfect opportunity for us to further connect with the Italian market and meet with both potential new customers and existing ones to discuss their needs and further establish our presence in Italy.”

EMCOR UK AND ROSPA LAUNCH HEALTH AND
SAFETY ACADEMY EMCOR UK and the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) have launched a new Health and Safety Academy as part of EMCOR UK’s Sir George Earle Trophy legacy, a coveted achievement that is the most prestigious accolade offered by RoSPA.
The Academy is designed to evolve organisational health and safety by having apprentices develop safety skills, earn a qualification as part of their career progression, and guide EMCOR UK’s health and safety practices. It was launched in January 2025, and three apprentices secured a place on the development pathway in April.

EMCOR UK won the Sir George Earle Trophy after being selected from the highest-performing Industry Sector Awards winners. EMCOR UK has also won the Facilities Management sector award for the last three years.
The Academy offers apprentices sponsorship through the RoSPA National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health (NEBOSH) certificate, alongside their ongoing apprenticeship training at EMCOR UK.
Eleven applicants went through a detailed application process and were interviewed by a panel of EMCOR UK senior leaders and RoSPA representatives, and three were successful: James Matthew, Kemar Perrin, and James Wright. Together, they now form part of the
Safety, Quality and Risk Community of practice. They will also attend senior strategic health and safety meetings and will be instrumental in guiding EMCOR UK’s health and safety thinking at the highest level.
Jonathan Gawthrop, Executive Director of Safety, Quality and Risk, said: “Of course, we were thrilled to have received the Sir George Earl Trophy. What makes it even more special is the opportunity to work with RoSPA in establishing a lasting safety legacy through our apprenticeship programme. We are really excited to develop and learn from these outstanding apprentices, bringing our best together in delivering our award-winning approach to health and safety.”
