SAFETY CORNER
Optimizing Loading Dock Safety
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) reports that 25% of all warehouse injuries occur on the loading dock. Given the demand for shorter order fulfilment times and the development of faster, more efficient equipment, it is easy to understand how this area of the warehouse has become synonymous with “the danger zone.” However, when loading docks are outfitted with the right safety equipment and personnel are educated about best practices, the likelihood of an accident or injury is greatly reduced. The following products and best practice suggestions offer insight into the elements that can be found in a comprehensive loading dock safety program. Guardrail – Most loading docks measure between 48” to 52” tall. This means that these critical operational areas are subject to OSHA’s revised Walking Working Surfaces ruling for general industry and are required to have a fall protection barrier installed along the elevated ledge. OSHA requirements dictate that the guardrail be capable of withstanding, without failure, a force of at least 200 pounds. This regulation ensures that personnel and equipment are protected from a fall if/when the guardrail is struck by a piece of equipment or machinery. However, guardrail’s role in protecting the loading dock area extends far beyond fall protection. When strategically placed throughout the loading dock area, guardrail serves as a physical and visual reminder of behavioral expectations. For instance, through the installation of guardrail, companies can create separate lanes for pedestrian and forklift traffic. In addition to the obvious safety benefits achieved by separating these two parties, efficiency is enhanced as each group is no longer encumbered by the movements of the other. Dock Gates – Most facilities require that loading dock doors be kept closed when not being used for loading/unloading activities. While this practice greatly mitigates the potential for falls and injuries, the reality is that many warehouses rely upon open dock doors to achieve a comfortable level of ventilation for personnel. Additionally, many warehouses find that keeping the dock doors open provides greater visibility of incoming vehicles (which is especially beneficial during busy periods) and mitigates the wear and
tear associated with repeated openings and closings. While OSHA permits the use of “visual barriers” when fall protection barriers prevent the flow of work, this course of action entirely relies upon employees seeing and appropriately responding to visual cues. Conversely, dock gates provide a durable, physical barrier that allow facilities to obtain the benefits of open dock doors. Within the safety equipment marketplace, there are a variety of dock gates (i.e. straight-rail and folding-rail gates) that are specifically designed to be easily maneuvered, ensuring that the flow of supplies and merchandise is not stymied. Overhead Door Track Protectors – Functioning overhead doors are vital to a loading dock’s operations. However, many companies choose not to install any form of protection, electing to deal with expensive and inconvenient repairs that cripple their facility’s throughput. Overhead door track protectors, sometimes referred to as “door track guards,” are a cost-effective solution that can be quickly installed to protect door tracks from damage by forklifts or other motorized equipment. Typically constructed with heavy-duty steel, door track guards function as both a visual and physical barrier to those operating in the loading dock area. Bolted into the floor directly in front of the overhead door track, the guards add a layer of protection that does not interfere with the facility’s productivity. Unlike other solutions available in the material handling marketplace, overhead door track protectors offer a robust level of defense at a fraction of the cost. While the integration of safety equipment is the first step in reducing accidents and injuries on the loading dock, it is not a cure-all for every potential hazard. Companies that aim to achieve optimal levels of safety continuously modify their list of best practices. The following suggestions offer a glimpse into some best practices that can easily be incorporated into any facility: • Provide strong lighting both inside and outside the loading dock area; • Restrict dock access to authorized personnel only; • Train and regularly retrain forklift drivers; • Keep the floors clean, dry and in good condition; and • Use a forklift spotter when operating near an elevated ledge

FEATURE STORY
Forklift Accessories for Fall and Winter Even in ideal weather conditions, operating a forklift can be tough. When the weather turns cold, forklift operators face an even greater set of challenges. Drivers then have to contend with extreme cold as well as pedestrians, obstacles, and other vehicles, which could lead to distractions and accidents. Smart and experienced forklift drivers know that part of staying safe means controlling your environment whenever possible. Operators who are cold are more likely to be distracted than forklift drivers using their vehicles in optimal conditions. So keeping drivers warm isn’t just a comfort issue, it’s also a safety concern. The first and simplest solution to combat the cold is to make sure your operators have appropriate cold weather clothing such jackets, coats, gloves, hats, scarves and other items that will help trap natural body heat. However, it’s important that none of these items restrict the operators range of motion or their view. Another great option to keep your operators warm and dry this fall and winter is to install a forklift cabin enclosure. Usually made of industrial-strength plastic or vinyl, these barriers can help protect drivers from cold temperatures, bone-chilling winds, and other environmental factors that can inhibit their ability to operate the equipment safely. Be sure to choose one that features a zippered door on each side to allow for easy entry and exit from the forklift. Forklift cabin enclosures are safe, effective and easy to install and convert any forklift into a warm and safe environment for your drivers. If you are looking for additional heating solutions, combine a cab enclosure with a quality forklift heater. When choosing a heater, look
for one made of heavy-duty aluminum for lasting durability. Forklift heaters come in a variety of mounting options, as well as BTU outputs to fit your specific needs. In addition, here are some helpful tips to keep in mind when operating a forklift in adverse weather conditions. 1. Be Alert Forklift operators should always keep their eyes focused on the area of operation and keep a look out for potential hazards and pedestrians. 2. Perform a Safety Check Be sure your forklift is ready for the extreme weather by checking to make sure all of the parts and components are in working order. Vital components that are most effected by cold, wet weather are batteries, hydraulics, electrical systems and engines. 3. Take It Slow Be sure to reduce your speed to allow for appropriate maneuvering in challenging conditions such as black ice, snow and wet, slippery surfaces. Failing to do so can increase the chances of an accident. As the leading provider of quality replacement parts and accessories for the material handling and industrial equipment industry, TVH has the solutions to keep your employees both warm and dry this fall and winter. We offer several products including cab enclosures and forklift heaters to help you protect your employees from the elements and avoid making costly mistakes. www.tvh.com

FEATURE STORY
Benefits of Including Autonomous Forklifts in the Warehouse
Every year, manual forklift drivers reportedly cause thousands of accidents. Not to mention the countless injuries, spills and waste of resources. One company, Mujin, is developing an autonomous loading and unloading system. They believe they’re close to commercializing their machines. This innovative technology premiered at a show in Tokyo. While it didn’t perform perfectly, it displayed tremendous potential. The company is hoping to test the devices in a real warehouse. Autonomous forklifts have plenty of benefits. The most obvious is efficiency. If perfected, these machines can work without rest, a clear advantage over human workers. From the company’s point of view, the cost of labor will be reduced significantly, which equals cheaper products. By 2024, up to 2.4 million manufacturing jobs could go unfilled. With the rise of autonomous forklifts, companies will have no issue filling the gap. These devices are much safer than any human workforce. Lifting heavy boxes all day is a back-breaking job. Employees lose work each day due to injury. However, with these new machines, workers can put their expertise towards positions that add more value to their lives and the company.
warehouse floor is consistent enough for a robot to navigate. Moreover, fuel costs could impact the type of forklift you’re able to purchase. Diesel, electric and gas options are available for standard forklifts, however, autonomous forklifts might only be available with an electric power source. Managers will need to consider electric lifts make sense for their operations and if their current budget handle the energy bill. More advanced models of autonomous forklift can be better at handling inconsistent conditions — like, for example, the Seegrid forklifts, which use their cameras to create a 3D model of the warehouse floor and navigate using that model. These models will also better handle a busy floor with many manual forklifts. More advanced models of autonomous forklift may, however, cost a little bit extra. The second biggest consideration warehouse managers will have to make is whether to incorporate an entire fleet or add just a few autonomous forklifts at a time. The cost of autonomous forklifts — as well as the time your employees will need to adjust to the new technology — may make a slower integration a better idea. The cheaper option is integrating a couple of machines into your workforce at a time. This choice isn’t as efficient because of the learning curve for workers around the new device. However, it’s a good option for those skeptical of the latest technology and want to see it in action before committing. While the initial cost is cheaper, labor needs won’t reduce drastically. This choice also brings up concerns about employees working in the same area as autonomous forklifts. Less advanced autonomous forklifts may place workers at risk if the workers aren’t properly trained and the forklift isn’t advanced enough to detect and respond to the movement of workers across the floor. Integrating an entire fleet would cost the most, but would pay off in the long run. The upfront price is a serious investment, but liability and labor expenses can drop significantly. The only cost afterward is maintenance.
Tips for Selecting and Integrating Autonomous Forklifts
Safety Tips for Working Alongside Autonomous Forklifts
What kind of autonomous forklift should you buy? As you can imagine, multiple companies are fighting to dominate this market. Mujin offers fully equipped warehouse floors of robot forklifts. Seegrid, on the other hand, features robots with ten cameras, able to map their entire surroundings. Stocked Robots offers a microchip that can transform a regular forklift into a self-driving one. The options are growing every day, so you’ll need to carefully consider your company’s goals if you want to add autonomous forklifts to your warehouse. A warehouse owner’s biggest consideration should be in how the autonomous forklifts will fit in to their warehouse’s overall workflow. This is because the benefits to productivity that come from an autonomous forklift are the greatest in warehouses that are highly organized and consistent. For example, a human-oaperated forklift shouldn’t be slowed down by a warehouse with inconsistently-sized wooden pallets or aisles. However, these same minor inconsistencies may throw off an automated forklift. A warehouse manager needs to be prepared to both incorporate autonomous forklifts and ensure that their
The companies that create autonomous forklifts are entirely confident in their safety and performance. However, AI can be unpredictable. When implementing autonomous forklifts into your forklift fleet, managers should provide training to help employees adjust and keep safe. Specific safety standards that you can implement in your warehouse include: • Proper training courses: All employees should have a good understanding of the technology that they’re working with, in case a problem arises. Employees should be trained in how to control these machines in the event of an emergency.

FEATURE STORY CONTINUED • Dedicated emergency protocol: The warehouse should have a protocol that employees can follow in the event of an emergency. • Consistent conditions: Some autonomous forklifts have difficulty navigating inconsistent factory floors, and may not be prepared to handle obstacles like stray pallets. Workers can keep the warehouse environment consistent, which will significantly increase the safety of this technology. Adding Autonomous Forklifts to Your Warehouse Autonomous forklifts can offer huge benefits for warehouse owners. Autonomous forklifts can improve productivity, reduce error and make a warehouse safer. Integrating autonomous forklifts into an existing forklift fleet may take some care, however, and workers will need to be trained in new safety protocols. Research your options if you want to add autonomous equipment to your worksite. Many find step-by-step integration is a costeffective solution to increasing productivity while reducing risk. Plus, the additional time needed to integrate these forklifts will allow employers to implement the proper safety protocols. Megan R. Nichols is a industrial writer and blogger.

New tool from PERC compares costs between electric & propane forklifts The Propane Education & Research Council released a free online cost calculator that allows facility managers to quickly determine how much they could save by operating propanepowered forklifts. “With this new tool, facility managers can have the data at their fingertips, giving them an easier way to compare the operational costs between forklift fuels,” said Jeremy Wishart, PERC director of off-road business development. “In the end, many facility managers are surprised to learn that, when compared with other forklift fuels, propane has proven to be the most cost-effective option.” Propane.com/Forklift-Cost-Calculator

PRODUCT PREVIEW
Option on TAB wrapper stages pallet loads for wrapping
JCB introduces the 1CXT compact backhoe loader in North America
Orbital wrapper manufacturer TAB Industries, LLC has introduced multi-pallet accumulation zones as an option on its fully automated TAB Wrapper Tornado Perfect Storm wrapping systems. Developed to improve efficiency and keep lift trucks from idle time, the multipallet accumulation zones set modular, powered conveyors at the infeed with a proprietary sensor array that recognizes the presence of a pallet load to be wrapped. www.tabwrapper.com.
JBC just announced the availability of the 1CXT backhoe loader, the company’s smallest backhoe model, to customers in the United States and Canada. The JCB 1CXT delivers the material handling and excavating capability of a backhoe loader with the maneuverability and transportability of a compact track loader. At less than 6 feet wide and 12 feet long, the 1CXT has a 60 percent smaller footprint than a full-size backhoe loader. https://www.jcb.com/
ID Label launches new linerless warehouse rack relabeling solution
UNEX Mfg. showcases equipment to keep beer flowing
Building on its long history of product innovation, ID Label Inc. has introduced Eco Beam Renew ™, a new linerless version of its popular warehouse rack cover-up solution. Eco Beam Renew applies directly over old or damaged warehouse labels, so relabeling rack locations is quick and easy. There’s no need for warehouse workers to spend hours scraping old labels or chemically treating beams prior to relabeling. www.idlabelinc.com
Keg Flow offers an alternative to palletized keg storage by storing 1/6 kegs in a manner similar to storing cases on flow rack. UNEX uses steel rollers that are strong enough to support kegs without bending. A custom hanger slows the keg down on the track and a high roller stop at the end keeps the keg from toppling over. Keg Flow now incorporates 6-inch high guards for the 24-inch tall by 9-inch (sixth barrel) and 11-inch (slim quarter) diameter kegs to give the kegs more stability on the racks. www.unix.com

Ready to work right out of the gate, the new ScrapHopper features two-way entry tubes, fully rotatable heavy-duty casters, and a push handle that make it easy to maneuver. Fork tubes make dumping quick and easy to keep production rolling. Each unit features a 4,000 pound capacity. www.steelking.com
