DOCK & DOOR APPLICATIONS

AT THE LOADING BAY

A familiar signal.
A different setting.

Loading bays need an indication that operators can recognize from the approach to the door. A red/green signal head can provide that visible indication as part of your site's defined operating procedure.

Choose the signal configuration around the viewing arrangement, available power and electrical design. Send us the project details so the proposed head can be reviewed with the equipment it will connect to.

This page describes the signal head. Identify any switches, sensors, controller or dock interlock separately so your quote can confirm the complete scope.

THE CONSTRUCTION

Built for exposed locations.

01

Polycarbonate housing

UV-stabilized, flame-retardant virgin polycarbonate, with color throughout the material.

02

Weather sealing

Drip shields, neoprene door and lens gaskets, and dual latches and hinges help protect the signal interior.

03

Assembly options

Housing and visor color combinations, cowl and tunnel visors, and separately supplied backboards.

BEFORE YOU SPECIFY

Your questions,
answered.

Is a dock controller included?

This page describes Fortran's red/green signal head. Ask our team to identify the controls, mounting hardware and any other components included in your quotation.

Can I replace an existing assembly?

Send the existing model, available supply, dimensions and mounting arrangement. These details allow the proposed replacement to be checked against the installation.

Where are the full product details?

Visit the red/green signal product page and review the attached Dock and Door specification. For other arrangements, explore Fortran traffic signal heads.
