Wheel Guides
Increase safety and efficiency while improving the lifespan of dock shelters.
Get vehicles aligned and docked safely
Wheel guides sited on the floor, in front of the loading bay, increase safety and efficiency during loading/unloading and improve the lifespan of dock shelters considerably. Vehicles are forced to reverse correctly aligned, ensuring that the dock leveller lip is accurately positioned to the vehicle bed. This also has the benefit of offering the optimum sealing of the dock shelter.
Large tubular steel wheel guides are designed to direct reversing traffic safely and quickly on to loading bays. Finished in a bright yellow the wheel guides are a strong visual aid to drivers as they reverse.
The sturdy all steel construction allows for the wheels of even a fully loaded triple axle maximum weight trailer to ride up the wheel guide, giving the driver a strong signal to stop and drive forward to reposition the truck correctly.
Getting large trailers aligned and docked safely on to goods bays is important especially when the warehouse is a chilled store and the bay has a shelter or seal around the docking bay to prevent the loss of expensive chilled air.
The wheel guides are 2 metres long and the standard width deployed between the wheel guides is 2.6 metres, the same as a trailer parking bay, but clearly sites differ and the positioning of the wheel guides should allow for any issues on a particular site.
As standard they are supplied in a highly durable and visible powder coated yellow for a good long lasting appearance, and can be mounted using bolts or can be cast in to the ground.
