Xtra Dock Safety
The Blue Giant XDS prevents forklift roll-off and overhead door damage at the loading dock. When introduced to the market in 2000, it was the only two-in-one combination of dock leveler and safety guard, and it remains at the forefront of dock safety technology today.
loading dock safety where it's needed most
In theory, a loading dock's overhead doors should be closed when loading or unloading is not taking place. In practice, doors are often left open while the dock leveler is parked, either to let the cool air in or get rid of noxious air that has built up throughout the day.
When the XDS is in the parked position, the Door and Dock Guard (DDG) sits 7 1/2" (191mm) above ground level, deterring accidental forklift roll-off. When the door is closed, the DDG remains in place, protecting it from impact damage that could result in a security risk and expensive downtime.
