Tue, 31 Jan 2012 09:04:05 +0000

What makes Rite-Hite a success? From our employees around the world to the innovative products we create, Rite-Hite is Always Looking Ahead. Rite-Hite was founded by Arthur K. White, father of Rite-Hite’s current owner and chairman, Michael White, who began to manufacture and market Rite-Hite’s first loading dock leveler back in 1965. The company quickly became the world leader in the manufacture and sale of loading dock equipment. In 1980, Rite-Hite invented the first Dok-Lok vehicle restraint which was introduced to the market and started the whole industry. That was just the beginning – today we are leading the industry with development of new products and services that continue to solve customers needs throughout facilities world-wide. We anticipate the changing needs of business, not just at the dock but, throughout the facility to help customers improve safety, productivity, and energy efficiency. While delivering solutions and support today, our...

Trailer-top Seal Keeps Loading Docks Dry, Products Protected

Mon, 05 Dec 2011 10:39:16 +0000

The RainGuard™ RG-3000 seal reduces product damage and contamination while promoting employee comfort and safety by minimizing the amount of rain, snow, dust, and wind able to enter the loading dock across the top of the trailer. The RG-3000 provides the tightest available seal by using a weighted, gravity-based sealing member to ensure consistent, uniform pressure across the full width of the trailer top. RainGuard also features built-in protection against damage and wear and offers 15 inches of trailer coverage (can seal tops of trailers ranging from 12 ft 3 in. to 13 ft 6 in. tall). Watch this video to see how the RainGuard works. For more information, contact your local Rite-Hite Representative !

Dock Leveler and Door Weather Seal Kits

Fri, 04 Nov 2011 08:38:50 +0000

Around the sides of your dock leveler, gaps are created between the leveler and the concrete loading dock pit wall. If these gaps are left uncovered they can become as large as a 12″ by 12″ hole in your wall costing hundreds of dollars in wasted energy costs annually. Add to this, the gaps on the top, bottom and sides of your overhead doors and these costs could top $1000, per dock position . Installing energy efficient overhead door and loading dock leveler weatherseals by Rite-Hite will close the gaps and will help reduce your heating and cooling costs. In many cases, these weatherseals will pay for themselves in four months or less. Choose from the following dock leveler and door weatherseals: Click here to learn more.
