Restricted-access barrier system Safe-T-Gate

Overview
Rite-Hite loading dock safety barriers are designed to reduce falls, injuries and equipment damage at open dock edges. Available in multiple duty ratings and configurations, these barriers integrate with existing dock equipment to provide controlled protection for personnel and material handling operations.
