What’s the harm in a few little gaps? Plenty!
Solid support under pressure
Personnel are in danger when servicing levelers.
Forks trucks can accidentally drive onto a raised
leveler or into the side, causing
damage and injury.
With its exclusive through-the-lip-design,
the Safe-T-Strut ® System solidly supports
the weight of a raised leveler so
technicians can work safely underneath.
Energy efficient weather seals by Rite-Hite will reduce your heating and cooling costs, and in many cases, will pay for themselves
in four months or less. Our leveler and door weather seal products are specially designed to close all the gaps at your dock.
