Hold-Tite Push Button Vehicle Restraint:

Physical Features:

•Push button activation with custom PVC solid-state controls (115v single phase operation)

•iDock Controls with Interactive Message Display

•Automatic Light Sequence

Safety Features:

•Positive hydraulic retention of RIG for zero running room.

•The no shear pin design firmly holds fully loaded or empty

•Integrated iDock Controls for safe leveler interlock.

How does it work? 

Once a trailer is backed into position against the dock bumpers, the operator presses the
“Engage” button, activating the Hold-Tite to rotate up and seek out the trailer’s Rear Impact
Guard (RIG). The restraint then applies continuous pressure to the RIG to securely hold the
trailer to the dock. After loading is complete, the operator presses the “Release” button,
lowering the HOLD- TITE unit to a safely stored position, releasing the trailer.

TPR Unilock Automatic Vehicle Restraint:

Physical Features:

•Push button activation

•iDock Controls with Interactive Message Display

•Low profile 9” carriage - Service range 9” to 30” off grade

•Restraining force in excess of 32,000 lbs.

Safety Features:

•Universally effective on any obstructed Rear Impact Guard, including intermodal trailers with
cover plates

•Locking mechanism to prevent the restraint from disengaging the trailer’s RIG when pressure
is applied

•Full communication package with signage and interior/exterior, red/green LED lights in opposing
mode

How does it work?

Once the truck is backed into position, the trailer’s Rear Impact Guard (RIG) contacts the
structural steel housing, lowering the UniLock in its track and positioning itself for engagement.
The operator then presses the “Engage” button, activating the hook to rotate up and secure the
trailer to the loading dock. The UniLock restraint maintains contact with the RIG and adjusts
automatically with the trailer float motion to ensure proper engagement at all times during the
loading/unloading operation. After loading is complete, the operator presses the “Release” button,
rotating the hook away from the RIG first to remove “RIG wedge” pressure, and then lowering the
hook to a safely stored position, releasing the trailer.

TPR Automatic Vehicle Restraint:

Physical Features:

•Industry-proven truck positioned restraint mechanism 

•Push button activation

•iDock Controls with Interactive Message Display 

•Advanced three light communication system

•LED interior and exterior lights

Safety Features: 

•Amber caution light when the restraint is in the process of engaging the RIG, or in override
conditions for added communication safety

•Integrated iDock controls for safe leveler interlock

•Full communication package with signage and interior/exterior, red/green LED lights in
opposing mode

How does it work?

As the truck backs into position, the Rear Impact Guard (RIG) contacts the TPR spring-loaded
structural steel housing, which rides down its track, allowing the RIG to position itself on top of
the housing. Once the trailer is positioned against the dock bumpers, the operator presses the
“Engage” button, activating the hook to rotate up and secure the trailer to the loading dock. The
TPR restraint maintains contact with the RIG and adjusts automatically with the trailer float
motion to ensure proper engagement at all times during the loading/unloading operation. After
loading is complete, the operator presses the “Release” button, lowering the hook to a safely
stored position, releasing the trailer.

Stop-Tite Push Button Vehicle Restraint:

 Physical Features:

•Push button activation (115v single phase operation) 

•iDock Controls with Interactive Message Display 

•Automatic light sequence

Safety Features:

•RIG sensor bar notifies the operator if the restraint is not securely engaged to the trailer’s Rear
Impact Guard

•Automatic light sequencing with interior/exterior red/green lights always in opposition

How does it work?

Once a trailer is backed into position against the dock bumpers, the operator presses the
“Engage” button, activating the Stop- Tite to rise vertically to the trailer’s Rear Impact Guard
(RIG), placing a stop behind the RIG and preventing the trailer from being able to pull away.
The restraint maintains contact with the RIG and adjusts automatically with the trailer float
motion to ensure proper engagement at all times. After loading is complete, the operator presses
the “Release” button, lowering the Stop-Tite unit to a safely stored position, releasing the trailer.

Stop-Tite Manually Operated Vehicle Restraint:

 Physical Features:

•Manually activated restraint

•Optional iDock Controls with interactive message display and light communication

•Low profile, non-impact design (wall or driveway mount) •Restraining force in excess of 32,000
lb. average

Safety Features:

•RIG sensor bar notifies the operator if the restraint is not securely engaged to the trailer’s Rear
Impact Guard

•Caution signs for communication on basic M version

How does it work?

Once a trailer is backed into position against the dock bumpers, the operating bar is used
under the release lever to lift up, manually activating the restraint. A visual inspection should
confirm the restraint has moved vertically and engaged the horizontal RIG. The operate bar can
be stored and loading/unloading begins. When complete and the dock leveler is stored, the
operate bar is used to push down the restraint arm until the release lever locks the restraint arm.
The operating bar is stored again.
