What to do if RITE-HITE Industrial Equipment DOK-LOK lights are flashing but the barrier doesn't raise or lower properly?

  If the DOK-LOK Industrial Equipment lights are flashing but the barrier isn't fully raising or lowering, several issues could be the cause. First, check the 5A fuse on the power module and replace it if needed. Ensure the incoming voltage at L1 and L2 is at least 110V, and that the control transformer is properly sized for the load. Verify the LEDs light up when you press the LOCK or UNLOCK button. Also, inspect the push button board and ribbon cable for defects. Examine the hydraulic power unit for issues and repair or replace if necessary. Check for hydraulic hose and fitting leaks, and inspect the lift cylinder for excessive oil. Clear any debris from the roller track and base. Finally, confirm the wiring is correct according to the electrical schematic.

  Anthony RaymondAug 10, 2025
  If the DOK-LOK Industrial Equipment barrier isn't raising and the lights aren't flashing, it may be due to a power source malfunction, a failure in the power module, or incorrect wiring. Check the power source, including the building circuit breaker and the 1A and 5A fuses on the power module. Confirm that the appropriate motor output LED lights up when you press the LOCK or UNLOCK button. Also, verify the wiring matches the electrical schematic.

  Matthew FernandezAug 15, 2025
  If the DOK-LOK Industrial Equipment horn isn't sounding but the lights and barrier are working, the horn could be defective, the CPU module may be damaged, or the wiring might be incorrect. Test the horn by applying 12V DC power; if it doesn't sound, replace it. Check if the LED labeled HORN flashes while in the FAULT state; if it doesn't, replace the CPU module. Verify the wiring matches the electrical schematic.

  Kimberly OlsonAug 20, 2025
  If the DOK-LOK Industrial Equipment barrier is working but all the lights are out, the bulbs may be burnt out, loose, or missing, the CPU module could be damaged, or the wiring might be incorrect. Check all the bulbs and replace them if necessary. If the ISG and OSR LEDs aren't flashing while in the LOCKED position, or the ISR and OSG LEDs aren't flashing while in the UNLOCKED position, replace the CPU module. Verify the wiring according to the electrical schematic.

Why does the RITE-HITE Industrial Equipment DOK-LOK barrier drop during trailer service, causing lights to change or the horn to sound?

  danieldudleyAug 26, 2025
  If the DOK-LOK Industrial Equipment vehicle restraint is working, but the barrier drops causing lights to change or the horn to sound while the trailer is being serviced, there may be a leak in the hydraulic circuit or air in the hydraulic system. Inspect all hydraulic hoses and fittings for leaks, and check the lift cylinder for excessive oil. Cycle the barrier up and down to purge any excess air from the hydraulic system.
