Vehicle Restraint

A truck restraint is a safety device used to secure a commercial vehicle to a loading dock during the loading and unloading process. Its primary purpose is to prevent the truck from moving away unexpectedly, which can lead to accidents, injuries, or damage to property. By immobilizing the truck, the restraint ensures a stable and secure connection between the trailer and the dock, allowing workers to safely transfer goods without risk of the vehicle shifting, rolling, or disconnecting. This enhances overall workplace safety and operational efficiency at distribution centers and warehouses.

The TPR UniLock® is a trailer positioned vehicle restraint with a locking mechanism to maintain engagement on a trailer’s Rear Impact Guard (RIG), and a unique cam design to release the RIG even when pressure is applied. The unit incorporates a self-contained motor assembly and helps prevent unexpected trailer departure from the loading dock during the loading/unloading process

The UniChock™ is a wheel-based trailer restraint with advanced light communication and available as a standalone unit or integrated with other dock equipment. This universally effective chock helps prevent unexpected trailer departure or movement from the loading dock during the loading process.

Once a trailer is fully backed and parked in position against the dock bumpers, the UniChock is removed from the storage bracket and placed under the front of one of the trailer’s back tires. This will sound an audible indicator and display a message on the iDock Controller that the unit is in a safe position. The dock attendant can then proceed to open the door and deploy the leveler.
