Vehicle restraints safety systems are a key component of efficient and safe modern loading docks. Vehicle restraints lock trailers into position at the loading dock. The vehicle restraint systems incorporate an integrated system of signal lights, inside on the vehicle restraint control panel and outside on the facility wall to communicate loading and restraint status to the dock attendant as well as the truck driver. To further increase safety, the vehicle restraint systems can be interlocked to other loading dock equipment such as dock levelers, inflatable dock seals and shelters, overhead doors through use of a common control panel.

Model UHR40
The Ultrahook UHR40 operation assures that there is no “gap” between the restraining hook and the rear impact guard of the trailer. The elimination of any “gap” further increases the holding power of the Ultrahook UHR40, by not permitting a restrained trailer to develop momentum during an unscheduled departure attempt.

DESIGN FEATURES:
The Ultrahook UHR40 is installed under the dock leveler which reduces maintenance and maximizes the reliability. When in use restraining the trailer, the only component that extends is the heavy steel hook. When not in use the entire assembly is safely stored and protected under the dock leveler. The main working components are away from weather, dirt and debris.

BENEFITS:
Direct and indirect costs of an industrial accident at the loading dock can easily exceed $5,000,000 and result in increased insurance costs. The Ultrahook UHR40 Vehicle Restraint Safety System reduces the potential for such an accident.
Important safety equipment should not be affected by the elements commonly present at the face of every loading dock. The fact that the Ultrahook UHR40 is protected under the dock leveler results in the following benefits:

The “under dock” position of the restraint protects the restraint from adverse conditions on the outside of the dock area. Only the restraint arm is exposed to the external adverse elements at the loading dock.
