Vehicle Restraints – Put Loading Dock Safety First

vehicle restraints – loading dock safety - truck restraints

Vehicle restraints are a key part of an integrated loading dock safety system. Used as a stand alone safety product or in conjunction with combination control panels, truck restraints lock trailers into position at the loading dock. A system of lights on the outside of the loading dock tells the driver when the vehicle is safely locked in or released.

Combination control panels simplify the operation of loading dock equipment, increase safety, reduce field-wiring costs and conserve wall space at the loading dock. The dock equipment that is typically interlocked is any combination of hydraulic dock leveler, truck restraint and safety light system, overhead door and/or inflatable dock shelter.

Truck restraints are just one of the ways that Pentalift supports safe work practices. For more information, see Safety Resources.
