Lok-Vu™ proves seeing is believing at the loading dock
Rite-Hite’s® industry leading NEMA 4X Dok-Commander® system, which integrates multiple pieces of loading dock equipment into one centralized control unit, has now added a significant new element – a real-time trailer presence monitor, Lok-Vu™, which provides a camera view of the exterior vehicle restraint. It also lets users see when engagement with a trailer’s rear impact guard (RIG) takes place.
The Dok-Commander system allows equipment such as Dok-Lok® vehicle restraints, overhead doors and dock levelers to be programmed so they operate in a safe sequential order. In all cases, that sequence begins with the RIG of the backing trailer getting secured to the exterior dock wall by the Dok-Lok restraint. Having a real-time camera view to confirm this engagement adds another layer of safety and efficiency to this process.
