Overview
The Dock-Rite Truck / Trailer Restraint is a safety-critical device that prevents three of the most dangerous dock accidents: premature vehicle departure, vehicle creep / dock walk, and landing gear collapse.
Non-impact operation means the restraint engages without physical force, resulting in lower maintenance requirements, greater reliability, and longer service life than impact-type systems.
✓ Non-impact operation — maximum reliability, minimum maintenance
✓ Prevents premature vehicle departure (most common cause of dock fatalities)
✓ Prevents dock walk / vehicle creep during loading
✓ Prevents trailer landing gear collapse
✓ LED interior and exterior indicator lights + caution signs
✓ 14,000 kg restraining force
✓ Fewest moving parts of any restraint system
✓ Manual operation — simple, reliable, no complex electronics
Typical Applications
- All loading docks where vehicle departure is a safety concern
- Facilities handling high-value or dangerous goods
- Sites with documented dock walk incidents
- DCs with multiple concurrent dock operations
- Cold chain where trailer movement disrupts seals
- Docks required to comply with formal safety standards
- Sites seeking ISO 45001 / OHSAS 18001 compliance
- High-traffic 24-hour logistics operations
