Vehicle restraint systems

Vehicle restraint systems for increased safety 

Make sure conditions are safe and secure when handling large vehicles at your facility. Easy to install, our innovative automatic vehicle restraint systems are a smart and effective way to protect your staff and equipment. Combination interlocking prevents any unplanned movement of vehicles during loading by trapping the wheels and preventing dock doors from opening before restraints are in place. We also have truck restraints for vehicles with tail lifts and mud flaps as well as manual dock restraints that provide the same function without automation.

    Vehicle Restraint Systems at a Glance:

    Vehicle restraint systems are critical components of smooth operations for warehouses and companies which manage high volumes of shipping and receiving, ensuring the safety of both workers and equipment during loading and unloading. Vehicle restraint systems are designed to prevent accidents caused by vehicle creep and premature drive-off, which can lead to severe injuries, damage to goods, and costly downtime. For any company dealing with daily freight, installing these systems is not just a smart investment but a necessary one to maintain safety and efficiency.

    Key Features of Vehicle Restraint Systems:

    • Wheel Detection: Accurate sensors are used to detect the position of the trailer's wheels, ensuring the restraint system is engaged precisely at the correct location.
    • Blocking Arm: A sturdy, reliable arm mechanism prevents the trailer from moving during loading and unloading.
    • Interlocking System: This feature ensures that the dock doors cannot be opened until the vehicle restraint system is engaged and also guarantees that the restraint arm is not retracted until the dock door is securely closed.
    • Traffic Light System: Provides clear visual indicators, helping to avoid miscommunication between drivers and dock workers by signalling when it’s safe to load or unload, and when the vehicle is safely secured.

    Keeping Safety at the Forefront

    The value of vehicle restraint systems lies in their ability to address major safety risks at loading docks. These incidents can not only cause injury but also damage to the dock equipment, vehicles, and cargo. Vehicle restraint systems serve as physical barriers, preventing unintentional movement, while also acting as parking guides to ensure that lorries are aligned correctly at the dock. This precision reduces the likelihood of damage and ensures a safer, more controlled loading and unloading environment.
