Stop go lights are placed around the opening of loading dock bay doors. They provide a visual notification of truck status to the truck driver and forklift operator.

When a dock safety light is green inside, it is red on the outside. This indicates to the forklift operator that the truck is safely docked and ready to load or unload while telling the truck driver to remain in place.

The truck is not secured when the loading dock safety lights are reversed (red inside and green outside). Forklifts should not attempt loading as the driver is receiving a signal it is safe to move.

Proper dock safety equipment, such as stop-and-go lights, offer several benefits, such as:

• Increased safety for forklift operators
• Improved efficiency in loading operations
• Fewer warehouse accidents

To maximize the benefits, keep these points in mind when ordering and installing your dock safety lights:

• Reduce blind spots with specialty products
• Combine stop-and-go lights with loading dock safety signs for maximum effect
• Use dock guides to ensure correct truck alignment at bays
