A DOK-LOK vehicle restraint may be installed on docks
with or without levelers. Consult RITE-HITE for proper
application.
Follow the six (6) step installation procedure below:
1. Inspect DOK-LOK materials.
2. Anchor or Weld track.
3. Position DOK-LOK assembly into track.
4. Hydraulic installation.
5. Electrical component and sign installation.
6. Test operation.
INSPECT DOK-LOK MATERIALS
Open and inspect all materials. Immediately report any
damage or material shortage. Study component
assemblies and determine their proper locations.
Install DOK-LOK vehicle restraint onto dock face at 27
inches off of the approach, unless otherwise noted in the
“RITE-HITE Installation/Application Guidelines”, at the
specified location by welding to an embedded steel plate
or by using the concrete anchors provided in conjunction
with welding to pit steel and a leveler frame. The track
will need to be trimmed if the mounting height is less than
26 inches. A maximum of 1 inch is allowed between the
bottom of the track and the approach.
For site specific installation information refer to RITE-
HITE Installation/Application Guidelines provided with
DOK-LOK vehicle restraint. If the recommended
mounting height cannot be achieved call your RITE-HITE
Representative or RITE-HITE at (800) 456-0600.
NOTES
:
a. Some levelers may be slightly recessed or protruding
within pit. A shim must be inserted between the roller
track plate and the leveler front subframe and then
must be welded in place. See page 13, figure 12.
b. If the dock conditions DO NOT allow lights and signs
to be mounted in full view of the forklift and/or truck
trailed drivers, consult the factory.
c. If the DOK-LOK is installed with a hydraulic leveler,
verify that the leveler’s recycle function has not been
adversely affected.
d. Track MUST be centered. Offset track installations
ARE NOT allowed. If there is existing anchor hole
interference call your RITE-HITE Representative or
RITE-HITE Customer Service at (800) 456-0600.
e. Approach must be concrete or there must be a
concrete pad where the base plate is installed. See
page 12.

injury.
Whether there is a leveler or not, 4" bumper
protection is required. DO NOT install a
DOK-
