Vehicle Restraint System

Our wide range of vehicle restraints greatly improve safety and prevent loading hazards during loading/unloading operations. They protect against the following:

Drive Away or Premature Vehicle Departure
A common accident where the truck driver pulls away believing loading is complete or connecting to a wrong trailer.

Vehicle Walk
Air-ride trailer suspension has a tendency to move in an elliptical fashion as fork lift Trucks drive in and out of the trailer, resulting in the dock leveller slipping off the trailer bed and dropping suddenly.

Vehicle Creep
Constant impact of the start/stop action of a fully loaded fork lift can cause the trailer to creep forward inch by inch beyond the reach of the leveller lip, causing the leveller to slip off the trailer bed and drop suddenly.

Trailer Tip
When a trailer is uncoupled from the tractor unit and the landing legs lowered, it can tip forward if too much weight is placed towards its front. This can be caused by a heavy load or the use of heavy equipment, such as a fork lift truck.

Roll Away
A parked up vehicle can be subjected to roll away. The movement caused by gravity and/or wind rather than forces associated with loading/unloading equipment.
