To prevent forklift drop accidents and ensure safety,

The most orthodox dock leveler that eliminates the height difference of the platform.

The dock leveler is a device that eliminates the height difference and gap between the floor of the loading dock and the truck. It raises and lowers using a hydraulic system to match the truck bed, allowing direct access between the dock and the truck without the need for a ramp. It features a uniquely designed smooth lip, which minimizes jolting and impact during movement between the leveler and the truck compared to other products, enabling loading and unloading operations similar to those on a flat surface. 【Features】 ■ The most conventional leveler that raises and lowers using a hydraulic system ■ High durability certified by American National Standards Institute (ANSI) ■ Simple operation with just a button to prevent mistakes ★ Enhanced safety through integration with related products By using it in conjunction with vehicle restraint devices like the "Truck Grip Series," both operations can be linked, allowing for safer operations. *For more details, please refer to the catalog and drawings, and contact us.

A dock leveler with a spring mechanism that can be used without power.

This is a dock leveler equipped with a unique spring mechanism consisting of four springs. The operator manually pulls the chain to release the spring lock and performs the operation. 【Features】 ■ Can be used without power ■ Robust structure certified by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) ■ Manual operation allows use even during power outages ★ Enhanced safety through integration with related products By linking with the related "Truck Grip Series," both operations can be synchronized, enabling safer operations. *For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

Dock leveler that does not require a pit and can be installed in existing buildings.

EOD stands for "Edge of Dock," which means "dock leveler that attaches to the edge of the dock." It is a common EOD type in countries like the United States. While a standard dock leveler is installed in a recessed pit, the EOD type can be installed without a pit. Its compact size allows it to attach to the edge, eliminating height differences during loading and unloading, and supporting cargo handling operations. 【Applications】 ■ Elimination of height differences between the platform and containers or truck beds ■ When you want to introduce a dock leveler without a pit 【Features】 ■ Can be installed without a pit ■ Electric button operation for raising and lowering ■ Made of high-strength high-tensile alloy steel ■ Operating range is 76mm up and down from the platform

Airbag-type dock leveler, eliminates platform height differences!

Air-operated dock levelers are used to eliminate the height difference between platforms and truck beds. They have a simple structure that raises and lowers the deck board by filling air into air bags with an electric motor. Compared to hydraulic systems, they have fewer failures, making them ideal for multi-tenant logistics centers. 【Features】 ■ Lifting System: The tower-type air bags are resistant to punctures and have excellent durability. ■ Reduced Maintenance Costs: They are less prone to failure compared to hydraulic systems, which reduces maintenance costs. ■ Structural Reliability: Simple button operation and a straightforward design prevent operational errors and accidents during work. ★ Enhanced Safety with Related Products By collaborating with related products from the "Truck Grip Series," both operations can be linked, enabling safer operations. *For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

A new era of "light communication" where warehouse workers and truck drivers can confirm each other's safety on the spot.

This is a vehicle restraint device that ensures safety through mutual visibility between the truck berth (parking area) and the dock area (inside the building) via its unique sensors. It enables a clear visual light (traffic light) to reduce the risk of accidents for workers and allows for speedy loading operations. 【Features】 - A signal lights up when entering the dock area to inform about the situation. - The restraint device grips the wheels and rear bumper to prevent unintended movement during loading. - It provides warnings through signals in case of danger, reducing the risk of accidents for workers. The restraint devices can be selected based on the site, including "dock locks" that secure the bumper and "wheel locks" that secure the wheels. It can also contribute to alleviating the impact of the 2024 problem by shortening work hours and relieving delivery pressure. *For more details, please download the catalog or contact us.*

Do you have any concerns or requests regarding wired bed exit sensors? × Tangling or tripping over wired cables × Cable disconnection or damage × Worrying about forgetting to turn the switch back on after temporarily stopping the sensor. × Wanting to be notified of bed exits even from a location far from the nurse call outlet. Such concerns can be resolved simply by connecting our wireless nurse call linked set to the sensor! Our wireless nurse call linked set allows you to connect bed exit sensors like "Ugo-kun," "Foldable Thin Matta-kun," "Ayumi-chan," and "Just Place Pole-kun" to transmitters and receivers, reducing wiring around the bed area, alleviating concerns about tripping or falling due to cables, and contributing to a tidier work environment. Furthermore, it enables the use of bed exit sensors even from locations far from the nurse call outlet, allowing for more flexible equipment placement.

Japan is one of the top 10 countries in the world with frequent earthquakes. The 2020 White Paper on Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has also reported an increase in the probability of major earthquakes occurring. Regarding the Nankai Trough earthquake, the probability of an earthquake with a magnitude of 8 to 9 occurring within the next 30 years is estimated to be 70 to 80%. At Hotron, we recommend the introduction of seismic devices for earthquake countermeasures in buildings and equipment. The seismic device 'HK-2' is a product that automatically performs various controls that have been pre-set when it detects strong shaking equivalent to a seismic intensity of 5 lower or higher. For example, it can automatically execute actions such as: "Open automatic doors and gates to secure evacuation routes and access for emergency vehicles" "Transmit signals to the control room and stop facility equipment" "Unlock the keys to locked lockers" "Automatically play voice guidance" For more details, please download the materials or contact us.

The "HM-S6" is an embedded park sensor that detects vehicles through changes in magnetic flux and responds to various situations from passing to stationary vehicles. It can be used for the opening and closing of input doors at waste treatment plants, as well as for gates that vehicles pass through and outdoor parking applications. It can also be installed on rebar and steel plates. 【Features】 ■ Resistant to the effects of natural environments such as rain, snow, temperature changes, and geomagnetism ■ Protection rating IP68 reduces the risk of water ingress ■ Ten times the load capacity compared to conventional embedded park sensors (based on our comparison) ■ Can distinguish between vehicles even when they pass continuously ■ Can be installed on rebar and steel plates *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
