Truck Restraint Safety Solution
Eliminate the risks of unexpected trailer separation and create a secure, productive loading dock environment. SEPPES advanced Truck Restraint system is engineered to anchor trailers firmly to the dock, preventing dangerous accidents caused by trailer creep or premature departure. For warehouse managers, logistics professionals, and facility operators, this isn’t just equipment—it’s peace of mind.
SEPPES trailer restraint system delivers a powerful dock safety solution that locks trailers in place with immense restraining force, effectively creating a stable bridge for forklifts and personnel. This crucial connection prevents catastrophic falls, equipment damage, and costly operational downtime. By securing the trailer, you secure your entire loading and unloading process.
How Does Truck Restraints Work？
- When the truck is backed into the loading dock leveler, the platform staff presses the lock button on the control panel to raise the limiter and secure the truck.
- The LED indicator shows inner green/outer red and the van is restricted. And it can withstand a pulling force of over 14.5 tons.
- The limiter stays in contact with the crash bar and is automatically adjusted by the float of the truck to ensure that it is always effectively limited during the loading/unloading operation.
- The truck restraints device maintains contact with the tail boom and automatically adjusts with the float of the truck, ensuring that the restraint is always effective during loading/unloading operations.
- When loading is complete, the dock leveler operator unlocks the truck by pressing the unlock button on the control panel.
Signal Light System for Trailer Dock Lock System
External signaling system: flashing red or green lights throughout the day to indicate to the truck driver whether it is safe to back in or out of the truck.
Internal signaling system: flashes red or green all the time to indicate whether it is safe for the platform operator to load or unload. The internal signaling system flashes the opposite of the external signaling system.
Audible Alarm: An internal alarm device warns the platform operator that the truck tailgate is not in its normal limiting position and, in addition to the flashing red light, a signal is provided.
LEDs as standard: LEDs have a long life. The lamp beads themselves emit red/green light. The light intensity is in accordance with road traffic light standards

Types of Truck Restraints & Dock Locks
Limiters play a vital role in securing your cargo. Below are the different types of vehicle restraint system we offer.
THM-600
Vertical Lift Truck Restraints
Vertical restraint locks the tail bumper of the lorry by the principle of locking hook. When the lorry driver loads the goods, it plays the role of locking the lorry to avoid sliding. It is a safety lock between the lorry and the dock leveler, which is used to eliminate the safety risks during loading operations.
THM-800
Rotating Hook Restraints
Rotating hook restraint is suitable for most models of lorry crash bars. The design of the spin hook type locking hook can restrict the movement of lorries with covers or other obstacles on the crash bar, which increases the safety performance, as well as the waterproof effect is better.
What is Trailer Separation and What Causes it?
To understand the importance of installing a loading dock restraint, we first need to understand the safety risks that may exist, and we will talk about the safety risks of not installing truck restraints.
1. Uninformed departure: the truck driver mistakenly drives the truck away while the forklift is still entering, leaving or inside the truck.
2. Slippage of the truck: the truck slips as the forklift truck enters and exits the truck with the force of the forklift truck's impact.
3. Collapse of floor supports: Weak or damaged floor supports collapse and the lorry tilts forward or falls to one side.
