TPR® Automatic Vehicle Restraint

Automatic Loading Dock Truck Restraint The Stop-Tite® AAL (automatic operation, automatic lights) vehicle restraint is operated with push button activation (115V/1PH).  It comes equipped with a RIG sensor bar that notifies dock workers if the restraint's arm is not securely engaged with the trailer's Rear Impact Guard. The Stop-Tite has a low profile, non-impact design for wall or driveway mount. The remote power pack allows the choice of mounting location. It can be mounted next to the restraint, on the outside wall away from the backing trailer, inside a leveler pit, or positioned inside the building for ease of service. An override selector switch,  automatic light sequencing of the red/green inside/outside lights, and available interlock terminals are all designed with safety in mind. The Stop-Tite® AAL comes with a protective debris guard and a Zinc dichromate finish. It features a full one (1) year base warranty on all structural, hydraulic, and electrical components. It also meets all current NHTSA regulations.

Loading Dock Truck Restraint The TPR UniLock® is the only trailer-positioned vehicle restraint that can automatically remove "RIG Wedge" pressure.  RIG Wedge is caused when the trailer is pushed forward during loading/unloading and the trailer's Rear Impact Guard (RIG) applies so much pressure to the restraint's hook that the truck driver must reverse the trailer in order to release the restraint.  The UniLock has an advanced cam design that first rotates the hook away from the RIG to remove the pressure and then rotates down to a stored position. The UniLock vehicle restraint also has an internal safety mechanism that locks the restraint's hook in place when pressure is applied, maintaining a secure engagement.  This makes it universally effective on any obstructed Rear Impact Guard (RIG), including intermodal trailers with cover plates that prevent the restraint's hook from latching on top of the RIG. The UniLock is designed to withstand a pulling force in excess of 32,000 lbs and has a service range of 4” to 10” horizontally from the face of the dock bumpers and 9” to 30” vertically above the drive approach. The integral motor, gear, and brake assembly are specifically designed for the UniLock. The UniLock vehicle restraint is highly adaptable to new or existing loading docks.

Wheel-Based Vehicle Restraint The UXL is a wheel-based trailer restraint with advanced light communication. Package 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 UXL is taken from the stored position and placed under the front of one of the trailer’s back tires on the track. This will 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. The UXL is equipped with advanced safety features. In addition to the controller message display and light communication, If the chock is moved to an unsafe position during loading, an audible alarm will sound until the restraint is back in the correct position. After loading is complete, the dock attendant will store the leveler and close the overhead door; the control box will then display indications to return the UXL to the storing position.
