The Door & Dock Guard:
Advantage Blue Giant
The raised guard is designed to prevent forklift roll-off when the overhead door is open and no truck is present and to protect overhead doors and tracks from regular impact damage.
Acts as a pallet stop to guard door panels and tracks from regular impact when the overhead door is closed.
The Blue Giant XDS Series offers a superior alternative with many more advantages over traditional lip barrier dock levelers. Before you consider a dock leveler with a safety barrier, be well informed and ask questions before making your decision. The XDS, what you want, where you want it, when you need it most.
Considering a dock leveler with a Lip Barrier:
Disadvantage Others
• Is the barrier at the outside edge of the dock? Is there no margin for safety to prevent falling off the loading dock to the abyss of the loading dock drive?
• Does the roll-off barrier protect the overhead door when in a closed position?
• Can the roll-off barrier (lip) impede materials handling at cross-traffic position (end -loading)? Is there smooth transition for small sheels?
• If the roll-off barrier (lip) is damaged what is required to bring the dock leveler back to service? How long will that take? What is the down time cost to the client?
• What is the lip replacement cost? Is it $1,000, $2,000 or even $5,000? More? Request a formal quote for repair.
