Rite-Hite stays current with changes in the trucking and material handling industry and can keep you informed of the new and innovative products available to meet your specific loading dock design needs. When your loading dock is set up to facilitate efficient loading and unloading as well as safe and secure movement of product, it has a direct impact on your bottom line.

Loading Dock Design for Today and Tomorrow

"Just-in-time" manufacturing and warehousing, high-cube trailers, and air-ride suspensions are some examples of developments that have made cookie-cutter dock designs obsolete.

When you bring a Rite-Hite loading dock expert into your planning and building process, you are making an investment for today and the future. Rite-Hite and our representatives have been working with architects, end-users, and contractors to stay on top of evolving trends to assure the best solutions for our customers. We take loading dock design so seriously that we have experts who instruct continuing education courses in dock design.
