Vehicle Restraints

Overview

Vehicle restraints are a reliable solution designed for safety and simplicity. These units apply up to 35,000 lbs. of restraining force to keep trucks and trailers securely stationed at the dock, helping prevent unscheduled departures and trailer creep, all while requiring minimal maintenance.

Vehicle restraints are built to accommodate a wide variety of carriers, including those with bent or damaged ICC bars, and can be interlocked with dock levelers for added safety and performance. Choose from hydraulic, electric, or mechanical models to suit your site requirements and sustainability goals.

Every restraint system includes touch controls and a standard LED light communication system for clear signaling both inside and outside the loading area.

Hydraulic Vehicle Restraints

Hydraulic vehicle restraints are known for their innovative design, powerful performance, and low cost of ownership. Each system typically includes:

- Advanced control panels: Featuring LCD menu screens, intuitive function buttons, and flat-surface keypads with touch-sensitive technology
- Proven safety features: Including unique locking systems, anti-obstacle technology, and lock-up prevention mechanisms
- LED communication system: Interior and exterior LED lights keep drivers and warehouse personnel informed of safety conditions
- Durable construction: Equipped with 1HP TENV power packs and zinc-plated components to prevent rusting or corrosion

Electric Vehicle Restraints

Electric vehicle restraints offer an environmentally sustainable alternative to hydraulic systems, while maintaining high performance and reliability.

Advanced control panels: Featuring LCD menu screens, intuitive function buttons, and flat-surface keypads with touch-sensitive technology
Proven safety features: Designed to maintain a secure hold at all times, even with air-ride suspension systems
LED communication system: Interior and exterior LED lights help keep drivers and warehouse personnel aware of safety conditions
Durable construction: Built with heavy-duty motors and zinc-plated components to resist rust and corrosion

Mechanical Vehicle Restraints

Mechanical vehicle restraints are simple to operate and require minimal maintenance, making them a reliable choice for many loading dock environments.

Manual operation: Engage and release functions are controlled by an integral push bar—no lifting required
Secure barrier: Barrier-style restraint arm provides a solid and dependable hold
Non-impact design: Helps extend the working life of the vehicle restraint system
Corrosion-resistant: Powder-coated finish protects against rust and corrosion
