Choose a Rite-Hite Vertical Dock Leveler with 360 degrees of protection for your supply chain. The hydraulic leveler’s upright position helps protect cargo inside the facility by limiting points of entry and eliminating environmental infiltration, which could lead to contamination. Coupled with pedestrian safety features, such as the Smooth Transition Dok System®, Safe-T-Pit®, and over-center tilt-back storage, a vertical storing leveler helps keep employees safe from injury before, during, and after the loading and unloading process.

Vertical Storing Dock Leveler Benefits:

• Vertical Storing Position: Overhead door closes all the way to the leveler pit floor, completely sealing door opening when dock is not in use and acts as a visible barrier to the dock area when stored, providing protection for the overhead door.
• Wide-Variety of Leveler Options: From traditional operations, to full-width trailer access for cube loading abilities, to heavy capacity loads, vertical storing levelers service the most diverse and demanding environments.
• Convenient Drive-Thru Design: Featuring option for drive-thru design, the levelers enable trailer doors to open and close within the facility, enhancing safety and smooth operations without personnel stepping onto the drive approach.
• Temperature Control and Environmental Regulation: Complete 4-sided perimeter seal, combined with suitable seal / shelter  configurations, helps ensure effective temperature control, maintaining ideal conditions for transported goods in both the facility and trailer.
• Safe Sequence of Operation: Combined controls are programmable to provide safe, sequential operation in a custom sequence for all Rite-Hite loading dock equipment. Optional mast allows leveler controls to be mounted alongside the leveler, providing a full view of the loading dock and leveler pit during operation.
• Loading Dock Automation Best Practice: Vertical storing levelers with drive-thru application help protect investments in automation technologies by helping to prevent interaction with harmful outside elements. This loading dock design also allows for Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) to be integrated with the combination mast controls for a better connected sequence of operation.
• Enhanced Pedestrian Safety in Leveler Pit: Safe-T-Pit® sensor enhances safety by automatically disabling leveler operation upon detecting motion in the leveler pit, helping prevent accidents during operations.
• Vibration Reduction and Operator Safety: The innovative Smooth Transition Dok System® minimizes whole body vibration, helping protect forklift drivers and other personnel's exposure to injuries caused by frequent vibrations, while also extending equipment lifespan.
• Effortless Hydraulic Operation: Vertical storing levelers offer simple and safe hydraulic push-button operation, streamlining loading and unloading processes for operational efficiency.
• Efficient Maintenance with Easy-to-Clean Frame: The easy-to-clean frame simplifies wash-down procedures, reducing downtime and maintaining the levelers in optimal working condition.
• Enhanced Safety and Warranty Support: All vertical storing models combine advanced safety features with industry-leading warranty. Rite-Hite's Dock Leveler Investment Guide (DLIG) provides warranties ranging from 10 to 20 years, covered by local experts through routine planned maintenance program.
• Exclusive Network of Representatives: Vast network of maintenance professionals support industry-leading warranty, vertical storing levelers offer comprehensive coverage for parts, labor, and customer satisfaction, ensuring peace of mind and equipment longevity.
  
  In summary, vertical storing dock levelers offer effortless hydraulic operation, drive-thru convenience, temperature control, enhanced safety features, and a comprehensive warranty. With specific variations catering to different application and facility needs, these levelers optimize efficiency, safety, and durability in dock operations.
