Truck Restraints
What are Truck Restraints?
Truck restraints, also known as vehicle restraints, is a device installed on a loading dock that can be linked to dock leveler to prevent the dock leveler from operating when the vehicle is not secured. Loading dock restraints ensure safety during the loading process and helps you keep your trailer and cargo where they should be. A vehicle restraint can also help keep your very expensive trailer and cargo at the dock where it belongs rather than disappearing as soon as you leave for the day.
When the lorry is reversed into the loading bay, its rear end touches the integral steel frame with built-in springs, which are pressed downwards, allowing the rear of the vehicle to be fully reversed straight against the frame. The operator then presses the control button to raise the hook upwards and hook it onto the rear crossbar. The hook can withstand pulling forces of up to 16 tonnes.
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 Dock Restraints
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
