Powered Dock Gate

Prevent accidents with powered, high-visibility loading dock gates. When the loading dock is in use, lift the gate in moments with the push of a button. When the dock is idle, the security gate closes it to traffic. This helps to meet safety compliance guidelines and enhance fall protection for a safer loading dock with no new construction. 

Powered Dock Gates (PDG) from BHS, Inc. improve safety for forklift operators and pedestrians alike, while also guarding dock edges against impact damage. Use them to boost safety in hazardous areas around open dock doors, with or without truck loading pits. 

These dock door gates feature 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 loading dock, while the security gate bar prevents roll-off even if forklift operators miss the visual warning. This vertical lift dock gate uses heavy-duty steel construction for an impressive impact rating. It delivers impact resistance that stops 10,000 pounds of force at 4 miles per hour, stopping reversing forklifts before accidents occur.

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

As an industry standard solution for busy material handling environments, this dock gate offers a compact footprint. Pair it with stationary safety rails or heavy duty bollards to create a complete safety barrier at the dock edge. 

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