Vehicle restraint systems for increased safety
Make sure conditions are safe and secure when handling large vehicles at your facility. Easy to install, our innovative automatic vehicle restraint systems are a smart and effective way to protect your staff and equipment. Combination interlocking prevents any unplanned movement of vehicles during loading by trapping the wheels and preventing dock doors from opening before restraints are in place. We also have truck restraints for vehicles with tail lifts and mud flaps as well as manual dock restraints that provide the same function without automation.

Vehicle Restraint Systems at a Glance:
Vehicle restraint systems are critical components of smooth operations for warehouses and companies which manage high volumes of shipping and receiving, ensuring the safety of both workers and equipment during loading and unloading. Vehicle restraint systems are designed to prevent accidents caused by vehicle creep and premature drive-off, which can lead to severe injuries, damage to goods, and costly downtime. For any company dealing with daily freight, installing these systems is not just a smart investment but a necessary one to maintain safety and efficiency.
Key Features of Vehicle Restraint Systems:
- Wheel Detection: Accurate sensors are used to detect the position of the trailer's wheels, ensuring the restraint system is engaged precisely at the correct location.
- Blocking Arm: A sturdy, reliable arm mechanism prevents the trailer from moving during loading and unloading.
- Interlocking System: This feature ensures that the dock doors cannot be opened until the vehicle restraint system is engaged and also guarantees that the restraint arm is not retracted until the dock door is securely closed.
- Traffic Light System: Provides clear visual indicators, helping to avoid miscommunication between drivers and dock workers by signalling when it’s safe to load or unload, and when the vehicle is safely secured.
Keeping Safety at the Forefront
The value of vehicle restraint systems lies in their ability to address major safety risks at loading docks. These incidents can not only cause injury but also damage to the dock equipment, vehicles, and cargo. Vehicle restraint systems serve as physical barriers, preventing unintentional movement, while also acting as parking guides to ensure that lorries are aligned correctly at the dock. This precision reduces the likelihood of damage and ensures a safer, more controlled loading and unloading environment.
Frequently Asked Questions: Vehicle Restraint Systems
Here you will find answers to common questions about ASSA ABLOY Vehicle Restraint Systems.
Vehicle restraint systems can be either automatic or manual. Regardless of choice, both serve the same purpose: preventing lorries from moving unintentionally while docked at the loading bay. The system’s restraining arm effectively blocks the lorry's wheels, ensuring it remains stationary. Whether automatic or manual, the arm is securely engaged and released accordingly. Additionally, the system features a two-way locking mechanism that prevents the loading bay door from opening until the restraint is engaged.
Yes, vehicle restraint systems are versatile and compatible with a wide range of loading bay configurations. Designed for adaptability they can be easily adjusted to suit different operating conditions and reliably perform in various environments. Installation is straightforward and typically requires minimal building modifications. The retractable blocking arm tucks neatly into the restraint system when not in use, optimising space efficiency.
Operating a loading bay without a proper restraint system is a significant safety hazard. An unsecured truck can move unexpectedly, leading to accidents causing personal injury, property damage, and equipment loss. The risk of injury is especially high if someone is caught between the loading ramp and the truck. Vehicle restraint systems are crucial for loading bays on slopes. Furthermore, pedestrians can be harmed if struck by a rolling lorry.
No, ASSA ABLOY vehicle restraint systems are designed to accommodate lorries with mud flaps, and restraints secure the wheels without damaging the mud flaps. Additionally, ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems offers specialised restraint systems for lorries equipped with tail lifts.
