Vehicle Restraint
Features of Vertical Bifold Hangar Doors
Positive Rotating Hook Engagement: Features a high-tensile steel rotating hook that mechanically wraps around the trailer’s Rear Impact Guard (RIG), preventing “trailer creep” and unauthorized pull-outs with over 32,000 lbs of restraining force.
Integrated Visual Communication: Fully synchronized with internal and external Red/Green LED traffic lights and audible alarms. This ensures the truck driver and forklift operator are always in clear communication regarding the lock status.
Extreme Environmental Durability: Constructed from heavy-duty galvanized steel or premium zinc-plated components, engineered to resist corrosion and remain fully operational in harsh rain, snow, and salt-spray conditions.
Intelligent Master Interlock: Designed to integrate seamlessly with dock levelers and industrial doors. The system ensures the loading dock door cannot open and the leveler cannot deploy until the vehicle is safely locked in place.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Why should I choose a vehicle restraint over traditional wheel chocks?
A: Wheel chocks can slip, be forgotten, or be pushed away by a heavy truck. A vehicle restraint provides a mechanical, high-strength lock that cannot be bypassed, significantly reducing the risk of fatal “early pull-out” accidents at the loading dock.
Q2: Can your vehicle restraints handle various types of trailers and R.I.G. heights?
A: Yes. Our rotating hook and vertical barrier models are designed with a wide “service range” to accommodate a vast majority of Rear Impact Guards (RIGs) or “ICC bars” found on modern commercial trailers and delivery trucks.
Q3: What happens if there is a power failure or the hook gets stuck?
A: All our systems include a manual emergency release mechanism. This allows site managers to manually disengage the lock in the event of a total power loss, ensuring logistics operations can continue safely without damaging the vehicle.
Q4: Do these systems require heavy maintenance?
A: Our vehicle restraints are designed for high-frequency industrial use with minimal maintenance. They feature self-lubricating bushings and a debris-resistant design, requiring only periodic visual inspections and basic lubrication to ensure years of reliable service.
