Why Invest in Loading Dock Safety Restraints?

Securing your loading vehicles has tangible benefits for your business:

Prevents accidents: Trailers naturally inch forward as forklifts drive in and out. Without proper restraints, this “trailer creep” creates gaps where people or equipment can fall. Our trailer restraint equipment stops separation before it happens.
Enhances efficiency: Workers move faster when they know trailers are secure. No second-guessing, no hesitation. Secure docks mean confident crews who load and unload at full speed.
Protects against liability and damage: Accidents cost more than you think. Medical expenses, equipment repairs, insurance claims and potential lawsuits add up fast. Investing in loading dock vehicle locks protects your assets and your reputation.
Meets regulations: Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards require measures to prevent trailer movement during loading operations. Our dock safety restraints help you meet those requirements.

Proven Vehicle Restraint Dock Safety Solutions

We offer manual, automatic, electric and hydraulic options to fit any operation or budget. Our vehicle safety restraint solutions include:

These wall-mounted truck restraint systems use a mechanical hook that engages the trailer’s rear impact guard (RIG). When activated, the hook rotates up and locks into position. This classic design has protected loading docks for decades because it works.

Vertical barrier vehicle restraints hold the trailer against the loading dock. They create an obstruction against the trailer’s RIG, preventing creep and premature departure. These barriers come in ground-stored, wall-mounted or under-leveler models.

This sophisticated safety solution combines dock levelers with vehicle restraints. It offers operators a smooth ride, reducing the whole body vibration or “dock shock” that can lead to injuries. Add stabilizing Dok-Loks to stop unwanted trailer movement.

These compact but mighty wedges fit against truck or trailer tires to keep them in place. They often work in tandem with other restraints for added safety. Wheel chocks can help meet OSHA requirements for securing trailers during loading and unloading.

The Dock Alert system establishes communication between drivers and dock personnel. It works using synchronized LED lights. Red means stop, while green means it’s safe to proceed or depart.

Clear signals eliminate dangerous assumptions, preventing accidents, premature departure and trailer separation.

Very satisfied I’m glad I hired Texas Overhead Door. I’ve used them a couple of times to have my old garage door repaired and then I ended up just having them install a new one for me. It runs perfectly! They were very responsive and able to schedule me in very easily. I thought the prices were very fair and I was happy with the service from beginning to end. I’d definitely recommend them.
