Restraint systems or hooks are essential devices to ensure safety within a loading dock. This equipment, initially launched by our long-time partner Rite-Hite, represents a more efficient and secure alternative to wheel chocks. They are all the more convenient if you update them regularly so that they fit modern truck and trailer designs.

Why use retaining hooks?

Trucks or trailers must remain stationary during loading or unloading to ensure the safety of workers and goods. Accidents such as the movement of the trailer under the action of the various movements inside or the premature departure of the vehicle can occur. The retaining hooks have been designed to prevent this kind of incident.

The different models of retaining hooks

We offer different models of restraint systems for sale:

• The vertical barrier: wall-mounted, stored on the ground or recessed under the pit;
• The rotary restraint systems that are apparently the most reliable: GRH-700, SHR-500 and STR-4200;
• Wheel lock restraint systems suitable for virtually all tire sizes: GWL-2300 and MWL-1300.

We also offer additional, intelligent accessories and communication systems that alert occupants to the presence of a trailer on the dock or a forklift inside. It also allows the truck driver and other workers to know the status of the retaining hook.

Updating your restraint system: Upgrade Program

Trailer design in the industry is continually evolving, which means that older models of restraint systems may not be suitable for newer vehicles. In this case, it is essential to update your existing Rite-Hite equipment with more modern components to optimize safety within your loading dock.
