Product Overview
This surface-mounted automatic vehicle restraint secures a wide variety of trailer types by using the trailer's energy to pivot a high-strength locking arm into position. Two wheel guides ensure on-center trailer positioning to improve dock sealing and protect the facility wall.

Key Features

• Automatic engagement when trailer contacts the device
• Engagement range: 43" to 158" (measured from back of trailer to front of rear-most tire)
• Approximately 20" formed steel locking arm designed for trailer tire diameters ~30–44"
• Two wheel guides for centered trailer alignment and better dock seal performance
• Optional remote hydraulic power unit with biodegradable fluid option
• Zinc-metalized and painted surface-mounted construction for corrosion resistance

Benefits

• Secures a wide range of trailers without external power (uses trailer energy)
