DockSAFE™
Our Killer App Saves Lives.
Dock drive-off incidents are physically impossible. Unlocked docks create precision exclusion zones that stop and lock the forklift before the unsafe action can occur — automatically, every time.

Loading Docks Are
The Highest Risk
Location.
Workers operating forklifts around loading docks have the highest probability of experiencing a serious accident or fatality. Over 7,000 forklift-related occupational injuries occur per year at loading docks alone.
If a trailer isn’t locked and a forklift drives on, the trailer could creep forward or drive away with the forklift and operator still inside. Fatigue and blocked vision make it hard to see if a trailer is properly locked — or present at all.
A single injury could cost $155,760 or more. The average lost-time forklift injury exceeds $38,000 in direct and indirect costs. Dock incidents are among the highest-severity categories in warehouse operations.
The Unsafe Action
Is Physically
Impossible.
DockSAFE uses QUWB-GPS location data to create precision exclusion zones at each dock, active only when the dock is unlocked. The forklift literally cannot enter an unlocked dock — DockSAFE stops and locks the vehicle before the threshold.
- Zone 1 — Warning: Machine slows with a 15-second alert. Operator is aware.
- Zone 2 — Shutdown: Machine stops. Forklift can back out.
- Zone 3 — Lockout: Vehicle is locked. Supervisor authorization required to resume.
- Active only when dock is unlocked — no interference with normal operations
- Monitors at 20 reads per second — real-time response at every dock
From 3 Terminations
To Zero In
Seven Years.
A Fortune 500 packaging company with a zero-tolerance policy — immediate termination for any operator whose forklift entered an unsecured dock trailer. In one year, three operators were dismissed including a 20-year veteran. Morale declined, recruitment costs compounded, training gaps widened.
DockSAFE created two precision geofenced exclusion zones at each dock, active only when unlocked. Zone one stops the forklift with a 15-second alert. Zone two locks the vehicle and pages a supervisor. The unsafe action became physically impossible.
Seven years later: zero violations, zero terminations, documented compliance on every shift, for every dock, every day.
“DockSAFE didn’t just solve a safety problem. It solved an HR problem, a retention problem, and a morale problem simultaneously. The machine now does what the policy always intended to do.”

Works With the
Full QUWB-GPS
Suite.
SpeedNFORCE™
DockSAFE works alongside SpeedNFORCE to slow vehicles on dock approaches before the exclusion zone activates. Layered protection, same platform.
ForkSENSE™
ForkSENSE detects fork load status so managers see how well a forklift is being utilized and can prevent mast collisions at dock overhead structures.
Q-Lytix™
DockSAFE event data feeds directly into Q-Lytix reporting — dock access history, lock status, violation attempts, and compliance trends for any audit.
