Vehicle restraint system MWL-1300 Manual Wheel-Lok™

mechanical

Overview
This surface-mounted manual vehicle restraint secures a wide variety of trailer types, including trailers with liftgates and trailers with or without rear impact guards (RIGs). Ergonomic manual positioning requires minimal force and offers a broad engagement range to accommodate trailer geometry and fulcrum variations.

Key Features

• Ergonomic manual positioning with minimal force; optional carriage positioning handle for improved ergonomics.
• 19 in high steel locking arm designed to secure trailers with 30–44 in tire diameter.
• Wide engagement range of 43–145 in (distance from trailer rear to front of rear-most tire) to mitigate fulcrum point variations.
• Optional security latch to prevent premature manual disengagement during loading and to deter cargo theft.
• Optional wheel guides for on-center trailer positioning to improve dock sealing effectiveness.
• Durable formed and structural steel construction; zinc-metalized and painted for corrosion resistance; snow/slush options available for harsh climates.
• Installed with mounting force in excess of 100,000 lbs and manufacturer-benchmarked pull-out force of 32,000 lbs.

Benefits

• Reduces cargo theft risk through an optional security latch that prevents manual removal while engaged.
• Helps prevent trailer separation incidents such as early departure and trailer creep; compatible with trailer stands to mitigate landing gear collapse and trailer up-ending.
• Supports clear dock communication and control via Dok-Lok style light communication and interlock options.
• When integrated with audible/visual approach detection systems, helps reduce risk of backover incidents.
• Designed and installed to maximize dock productivity and throughput while maintaining material handler safety.

Communication & Connected Capabilities
