Dock Leveler and Restraint Upgrade — Food Manufacturing Facility, Ontario
The Challenge
A food manufacturing facility in Ontario was experiencing safety incidents at the loading dock due to truck movement during unloading. Existing dock equipment lacked active restraint systems, creating risk of trailer creep and forklift falls.
Our Solution
Wilcox Door Service upgraded all dock positions with new hydraulic levelers and powered truck restraint systems with warning light communication panels. The interlocked safety system prevents leveler deployment until the truck is confirmed secured.
