Loading Dock Lights

Choosing the Right Lighting Products

Barron offers a variety of dock lights from incandescent lamp lighting to LED lights, as well as double strut arms that allow for more portability, or stop & go lights that mount to the building. The right dock lighting will depend on the application for the lighting at the specific loading dock.

Here’s a breakdown of the primary lighting types available on this category page:

Task Lighting — Dock Light Heads & Arms Task lighting fixtures mount to the dock wall on adjustable arms and direct light into the trailer. Phoenix’s modular docklite® head and arms are built for longevity, stability, and ease of operations. Modular arms are available in 40- and 60-inch lengths and are double strut to hold any combination of lights, fans, or other accessories. The docklite® head is designed to endure accidental impacts from forklifts and dock doors.

For facilities requiring flexibility beyond a standard arm, a flexible arm dock light allows you to direct the light exactly where you need it — whether that’s the back of a truck or trailer, or workbench illumination for specific tasks.

LED Upgrades and Specialty Lighting Upgrading from a traditional incandescent lamp to a long-life LED dock light head increases energy efficiency and reduces maintenance overhead. LED options are available for standard dock conditions, as well as specialized environments: wet location rated dock lights for spray-down areas, cold storage, or docks exposed to outdoor conditions; and hazardous location rated (explosion-proof) options for applications like chemical plants and refineries.

Dock Communication & Signal Systems A light communication system from Poweramp enhances safety at any loading dock by notifying the truck driver and dock personnel when conditions are safe to proceed. The Dock Alert’s innovative single light shows a flashing Red X and a Green O, and can be activated manually or automatically with an interconnection to the dock leveler or overhead door. Allied Solutions Edge Lights, mounted to the interior wall above the dock door, flash either red or green as an added level of safety that becomes visibly clear to any dock worker. They integrate with vehicle restraint controls for automated communication to ensure a safe loading process takes place. Increasing visibility is always a good idea, but choosing the correct lighting option would be best determined through a Barron product specialist.
