Rite-Hite passes major milestone in loading bay safety


Rite-Hite, the Loading Bay safety business, has passed a major milestone in Loading Bay safety – the delivery of its 20,000thGlobal Wheel-Lok system in Europe. The news follows soon after the company


announced that manufacture of the award- winning system has also commenced in Germany to serve its European customer base. Proven in market for more than 20 years, the Global Wheel-Lok is designed to secure any


type of trailer to the Loading Bay, preventing well-known incidents such as vehicle creep (‘dock walk’), and accidents caused by a vehicle leaving its bay too early. Traditional wheel chocks tend to be unreliable, especially in poor weather conditions, and are


often not strong enough to prevent a vehicle from pulling away unexpectedly. They also require someone to physically manhandle them into position and remove them after use.
