Prevent dock accidents with a powered, high-visibility barrier. When the dock is in use, lift the gate in moments with the push of a button. The Powered Dock Gate (PDG) from BHS, Inc. improves safety for forklift operators and pedestrians alike, while also guarding dock edges against impact damage. 

The Powered Dock Gate features two steel uprights supporting a horizontal barrier with a reinforced structural channel. A high-visibility yellow finish instantly alerts staff to the danger of a vacant dock, while the barrier prevents roll-off even if forklift operators miss the visual warning. This barrier is capable of stopping 10,000 pounds of force at 4 miles per hour, stopping reversing forklifts before accidents occur. 

Raising and lowering the barrier is simple and ergonomically friendly, thanks to an electric motor and a push-button control. (Manually operated models are also available.) This powered barrier control allows staff to quickly open a dock for business, or seal it to traffic between uses, all without physical exertion beyond a button press.  

As with all BHS products, custom sizes, features, and capacities are available on request. Build a safer dock with Powered Dock Gates. Contact the BHS Sales Team at 1.800.BHS.9500 to learn more.
