Mitigate Employee & Forklift Vulnerabilities Near Rail Dock Drop-Offs

Our Rail Dock Safety Barriers are a force to be reckoned with when guarding the 4 ft. drop off at rail docks.Ā  Designed to exceed OSHA fall protection standards, these barriers feature guard railings set at 42ā€, 27ā€ and 12ā€ high.Ā Ā Ā 

These patented structures are able to hold steadfast when struck by a lift truck because they’re braced to the floor by an embedded floor sleeve that transfers impact load forces to the concrete. To improve operator safety, these barriers include integral fork pockets for forklifts can easily lift, remove, and replace the 10 ft. barrier sections. This keeps truck lift operators in their seats and uninvolved with manual hazards. Ā
