Dock Locks/Truck Restraints 
Now Introducing The New Lock & Load Truck Restraint!


The Lock & Load Truck Restraint secures the trailer's rear impact guard (RIG) to reduce the risk of trailer separation accidents which lead to forklift driver injuries as well as damage to product and loading dock equipment. The Lock & Load offers unique features to improve on the proven performance of hook-style restraint designs:
  • The gear motor, specifically engineered for this application, includes a one way braking system which keeps the hook continuously engaged for added safety.
  • Control box features discrete components for ease of service.
  • Control box includes keyswitch for override as standard.
  • LED lights are standard for energy efficiency and long life.

Versatile:

Low profile 9" carriage works with all standard trailers (RIG greater than 9" and less than 27").

Durable:

Mounts to dock above ground level to stay clear of precipitation and debris. Protected from the elements with watertight connectors and zinc plating which provides exceptional corrosion resistance. Backed by a one year parts and labor warranty.

Reliable:

Designed to withstand more than 32,000 lbs. of pulling force. (Meets ANSI spec MH30.3-2005.)

Easy to Use:

Backing trailer positions restraint automatically. Communication system provides interior and exterior lights and an audible alarm to alert dock attendant of restraint status.

 


ARCHITECTURAL SPECIFICATIONS


GENERAL:

The Lock & Load is designed to secure
a trailer to a loading dock by engaging the
trailer's rear impact guard (RIG) with a large,
rotating hook operated by a control panel
mounted inside the building. Engagement
range extends from 9" to 27" above the ground.
A spring loaded, structural steel housing
automatically positions the unit when contacted
by a backing truck.

STRUCTURAL:

The enclosed welded structural steel housing
is constructed of 5/16" (8mm) high strength
abrasion resistant steel. It is designed to
withstand the impact of trailers backing into
position and to protect all components from
weather, dirt and debris. Zinc plated carriage
provides corrosion resistance; the rotating steel
hook is yellow zinc plated for high visibility.

OPERATION:

As the trailer backs into position, the RIG
contacts the spring loaded structural steel
housing which rides down in its track, allowing
the RIG to move over the top of the housing.
The dock attendant pushes the RESTRAIN
button which activates the hook to secure
the trailer to the dock with a holding force in
excess of 32,000 lbs. The Lock & Load restraint
maintains contact with the RIG and adjusts
automatically with trailer float motion to ensure
proper engagement at all times. After servicing
is complete, the dock attendant pushes the
RELEASE button. In the event a trailer is missing
or has a damaged RIG, the Lock & Load will
communicate a fault condition. An audible
alarm and flashing red light alerts the operator
that the trailer has not been properly secured.
The operator may then override the fault
condition and secure the trailer by other means.
The communication system automatically adjusts
to reflect the current operational mode.

ELECTRICAL/CONTROLS:

All operator controls are mounted in a control
panel which is fully operational at all times.
Hook mechanism, specially engineered electric
motor and limit switches are totally enclosed in
an abrasion resistant structural steel housing.
Electrical components and wiring are UL listed
or recognized. Lock & Load requires a power
source of 110/115 volt single phase with a 15
Amp service circuit. (NOTE: Unless specified on
quotation, all electrical, including hookups, is
the responsibility of others.)

COMMUNICATION SYSTEM:

Outside: Constant flashing red or green
LED lights with signs instruct the truck driver
when it is safe to back into or pull away from
the loading dock.
Inside: Constant flashing red or green
LED lights with signs help the dock attendant
know when it is safe to perform loading/
unloading operations.
Audible Alarm: In addition to the flashing
red light, inside alarm warns the dock attendant
when a RIG has not been properly engaged.
Audible Alarm Override: A key switch
allows personnel to override the audible alarm.
When the audible alarm is in override, the
inside red and green lights continue to flash
simultaneously.
LED lights: Standard LED lights
provide long life.

OPTIONS:

_____ Cantilever Mounting Bracket
_____ Open Dock Stanchion for Control Box
_____ Driveway Plate for Ground Mounting
_____ Green Light Interlock
WARRANTY:
1 Year Parts and Labor.


 
Floor-Mounted Mechanical or Pneumatic Truck Restraint

Floor-mounted vehicle restraints have a time tested design which is engineered to offer years of reliable, low maintenance

safety at your loading dock. The 7-1/2" version offers the lowest stored height of any vehicle restraint in the industry,

allowing service to a wider range of truck types.

Lowest Total Cost of Ownership

  • Extremely low maintenance, with very few moving parts
  • Routine inspections easily performed by internal staff
  • Economical manual or pneumatic operation
  • May lower insurance costs by making loading docks safer

Exceptional Versatility

  • Effective on more types of trucks (e.g. lift gates) than any other model of restraint
  • Installs at more non-standard dock types (e.g. brick veneer, concrete curb, block, etc.)
  • Available in Cast-In or Bolt-In (flange) models
  • Choice of 7-1/2" (Anchor Series) or 10" (350 Series) retracted height

Robust Performance & Durability

  • Operates in the harshest conditions - all activation components are INSIDE the building, not exposed to weather
  • Ram bar yield strength of 100,000 lbs.
  • Over 30,000 lbs. of restraining force
  • All exterior components are zinc plated for corrosion resistance

Low Environmental Impact

  • Driveway mounted - no destruction of dock walls
  • Non impact restraint inflicts no damage on trucks
  • Small footprint is not obtrusive to loading dock operations
  • Restraint fluid is non toxic and biodegradable

EQUIPMENT SPECIFICATIONS

BOLT-IN:

The "Bolt-in" (Flange) Style housing is designed to be anchored to the concrete drive - not

attached to the dock wall. This will provide years of trouble free service without any damage

to your building! The zinc plated housing is completely self-contained and is designed to

handle the harshest of loading dock environments. This style allows for easier movement to

other dock positions in the event of required location changes.

CAST-IN:

The "Cast-in" Style housing is designed to be embedded into the concrete drive - not

attached to the dock wall. This will provide years of trouble free service without any damage

to your building! The zinc plated housing is completely self-contained and is designed to

handle the harshest of loading dock environments.

ACTIVATION SYSTEM:

The restraint shall be activated by turning a switch or moving a slide bar to "Restrain" or "Release" the truck. Ram bar is

raised by a high strength nylon coated stainless steel aircraft grade cable and guided over heavy duty pulleys with shielded

bearings. The switch controls a pneumatic cylinder that activates the cable and is located inside the building within a powder

coated steel enclosure. The Mechanical version uses a slide bar located inside the building within a powder coated steel

enclosure to activate the cable.

Loading dock to be equipped with an elevating ram non-impact type restraining device. Overall stored height (7 1/2" or 10")

above drive with ability to restrain tailgate trailers (7-12" version). Device design to be anchored to the concrete drive - not

OPERATION:

After the truck/trailer backs into position against the dock bumpers, the dock attendant switches the Dock Lock to the

"Restrain" position activating the restraint. The outside light turns red and inside light turns green, and after verifying the

Ram Bar is above the Under-Ride Guard, the attendant may enter the trailer.  When the attendant has completed the loading/

unloading process, switch the Dock Lock to the "Release" position deactivating the restraint and lowering the Ram Bar. The

outside light turns green and inside light turns red.
