The video aboves shows firsthand some of the dangers when a loading dock is ill-equipped with safety measures and procedures. While the worker in this video walked away from the accident, it could have been far worse. And the same could have been far worse for this truck driver below:

What Should I Look for in Loading Dock Safety?
The following video is a good overview of what a normal loading dock inspector keeps an eye out for. Dock barricades, dock traffic systems and wheel chocks are just some of the most essential items all loading docks should never function without.

There is no excuse for overlooking loading dock safety. It is imperative that you and your employees have a safe loading dock environment to complete daily tasks — and enforce safety daily. Because even the smallest mishap can cause serious consequences such as loss of time and productivity.

Determining Height of Frame
These are quite a few factors in determining the height of the frame.

1. Type of the sprinkler system in the building.
2. Height of the building.
3. Pitches roof or flat.
4. Height to the underside of the sprinkler heads. The sprinkler system has a lot to do with the fire code. The distance underneath the heads can vary anywhere from 18″ to 36″.
5. The lift height of the forklift to be used. Take the lift height minus 9″ to 10″. Five inches for the pallet height and 3″ to 5″ below maximum lift height. It is not good to run a lift truck up to maximum height all the time. It wears out the mast.
6. Most importantly, the height of the load including the pallet.
7. Six inches should be added to all of the above for pallet lift off.

U – Upright
30,000 lbs. cap. (3″ x 3″ columns)
42 – 42″ deep
192 – 192″ high

* All of the above with 5″ x 7″ x 3/8″ footplates depending of seismic zone and load footplates can be larger.

The rolled formed uprights can also have 3″ x 1-5/8″ or 3″ x 3″ backer columns. The height of these backers may be anywhere from 2′ to full height of the frame.

Capacities of rack uprights drop dramatically in different seismic zones. Uprights that carry a 30,000 lb. capacity in a static (non-moving) situation may hold only 15,000 lbs. or less depending on seismic zone and beam spacing. Preliminary seismic calculations from a certified licensed engineer should be obtained to determine the actual capacity of the frame.

Sizing and Selection of Beams
Beams are sized on the basis of the loads to be placed on them. The first thing to consider is the width of the load to be stored. Next, find out how many loads are to be stored in a bay of racking. Normally this consists of two loads per pair of load beams. In the case of 144″ beams or tunnel beams, you might have three loads. Loading of the storage rack is limited by how much the client’s concrete floor can support.

The length of the beam is determined by adding the widths of the loads plus 3″ to 4″ in between plus 3″ to 4″ between the outside of the load and the upright frames. For example, if the the customer’s loads are 40″ to 42″ wide then a 96″ long load beam would be used. This is based on the customer using a standard THIS forklift. If a turret truck or a drexel truck is used, then the length of the beams would change.
