Pedestrian-Vu™, Approach-Vu™ help address loading dock dangers inside & out
To mitigate the multidimensional dangers facing workers at loading docks, Rite-Hite® has introduced two new products to its Rite-Vu™ Light Communication Systems family –Pedestrian-Vu for the dock’s interior, and Approach-Vu for its exterior.
Inside the dock area, Pedestrian-Vu uses motion-sensing technology to trigger a bright blue light that projects onto the dock leveler when it detects material handling equipment or a pedestrian’s presence inside the trailer. Pedestrian-Vu also works in conjunction with Dok-Lok® products to alert any dock worker or forklift that enters an unsecured trailer. The blue light flickers as an audible alarm alerts the unsuspecting dock worker that they’ve entered an unsecured trailer, while the external light system simultaneously changes to red, warning the truck driver that there is activity inside the trailer.
