FAQ

Q: Why is Safety Signal one of the hottest ideas in dock safety?
A: Safety Signal is designed to be the COMMUNICATION line between the dock worker and the truck driver. This communication line has proven to be the key factor in dock safety. Additionally, the Red/Green light signals are universally accepted protocol.

Q: How does Safety Signal differ from other products on the market?
A: Safety Signal is not just another Red/Green light package. The automated control panel uses LED lights, a convergent photo eye (in lieu of a mechanical switch) and a patented outside light box specifically designed to project the Red outside light beam directly at the driver’s mirror.

Q: What is the purpose of the convergent photo eye?

A: Safety Signal uses a convergent photo eye in lieu of a whisker switch that can fail mechanically or a manual light switch that is subject to the possibility of human error.

    Additional Engineering Advantages

  • Safety Signal’s high intensity flashing RED LED light on the outside box is designed for extreme brightness and is directed to the drivers mirror so it's not a distraction
    to other driver’s in the area.
  • Control boards can be programmed
    to interlock electric/hydraulic and pneumatic levelers.
