Our customer recently installed a new concrete platform to serve as an additional loading dock. With a blank slate, we had the opportunity to design a safe, functional, and efficient solution tailored to their needs. ?? Edge-of-Dock Leveler – Ensuring smooth and reliable loading/unloading. ?? Handrails & Guardrails – Providing essential fall protection for worker safety. ?? Staircase Access – Enabling safe and easy egress to and from the dock. The result? A fully optimized loading dock that enhances both safety and productivity. The customer was thrilled, and the dock was immediately put to use—exactly what we love to see!

One of the country’s largest commercial bakeries has trusted Stokes Equipment and Rite-Hite for years—always looking to stay ahead of the curve with cutting-edge solutions. When they set out to add AGV (automated guided vehicle) and LGV (laser-guided vehicle) technology to their facilities in 2020, the loading dock quickly became a core piece of the automation puzzle. Stokes Equipment worked closely with the bakery’s operations team to gather all critical data: -Expected trailer types and configurations -Exterior approach and grading specs -AGV/LGV make and models -Overall equipment expectations for an automated environment From there, the bakery built its first “Automated Distribution Center” - a new construction project that became the prototype for future automated docks. More recently, they renovated another facility applying the same “trust but verify” approach. We implemented our combo dock shelters—ensuring the site can handle various lift-gate trailers. As of February 2025, the dock equipment is fully installed, with final electrical work underway. It’s exciting to see how automation at the loading dock can elevate efficiency and keep this bakery’s operations at the forefront of innovation. #LoadingDockAutomation #Innovation #RiteHite #MaterialHandling #AGV #LGV #Efficiency

Nice!

One of our clients recently acquired an aged facility in Bethlehem, PA, and wanted to bring it up to today’s safety and operational standards. The facility had outdated steel guardrails that had seen better days after years of wear and tear. To make a lasting impact, they chose to replace all their steel guardrails with the innovative Rite-Hite GuardRite Polymer lineup—and the results speak for themselves. Why Polymer? The client understood the incredible value of polymer barriers: ? Durable Impact Resistance: Unlike steel, GuardRite Polymer barriers can withstand multiple forklift impacts without structural or visual damage. ? Floor Protection: The energy-absorbing design prevents anchor damage, eliminating the costly concrete floor repairs common with traditional steel barriers. Facility Enhancements: Pedestrian Walkways: The customer installed the GuardRite Polymer LD barriers throughout pedestrian walkways, paired with 3"x3" Safety Yellow Floor Angle. This cost-effective solution prevents forklift forks from penetrating walkways while maintaining a clean, professional look. Reclaim Area for Cardboard and Pallets: To create a safe and efficient reclaim area, the customer utilized GuardRite Polymer HDXL, providing a 10-foot tall barrier for safely stacking large boxes and pallets. Accessibility: Dok-Guardians were added for forklift access, offering a secure yet accessible solution for high-traffic areas. The Results? Their facility is now safer, more efficient, and has a fresh, modern appearance. The flexibility of the polymer system means it can be easily reconfigured as needs evolve, ensuring long-term value. We’re thrilled to help our customers make these transformative upgrades, improving safety and operations for years to come. Looking to modernize your facility?
