iDock Alert Light Communication System

Loading Dock Communication and Controls

The iDock Alert Light Communication System is an enhanced version of McGuire’s simple Dock Alert and provides a reliable warning system that establishes a clear line of communication between truck drivers and dock personnel, thereby reducing the risk of accidents at the loading dock.  

As a truck approaches the dock, exterior lights will flash green while interior lights are red.  Once the truck is in position, the dock attendant will open the overhead door, secure the trailer with an optional restraint, and raise the leveler onto the trailer.  This action will trigger one of the installed sensors to automatically change the exterior light to red, letting the driver know not to pull away, and interior light to green, indicating that it’s safe to proceed with loading/unloading.
