DL Mfg. Says Wheel Chock is a Smart Buy
DL Manufacturing
DL Manufacturing has introduced a new wheel chock safety system called Smart Chock, developed to increase safety for loading dock operations by keeping both drivers and dock workers alerted to the loading status of any truck in the dock.
After the driver positions his truck at the dock and places the Smart Chock in front of the wheel, the device is able to communicate when it is and isn’t safe to carry out loading/unloading operations. Photo eyes built into the chock handle and base sense if the wheel is safely chocked. Then an inside panel with red and green LED lights shows if it’s safe to load or if a wheel is prematurely unchocked. A patented red light produces an ultra-bright flashing beam directed at the driver’s mirror when loading is in progress or when a wheel is not safely chocked. Finally an amber LED panel indicates to the driver “LOADING” is in progress .
The Smart Chock is awaiting patent approval and is available from equipment distributors throughout the U. S. and Canada.
