Qualities of A Hold-Tite® Push Button Vehicle Restraint in Charlotte

Companies used to consider having a vehicle restraint or not was needed.

Now, it is a necessity. The question now is what vehicle restraint to install. In 
looking for the best Vehicle Restraint for your docking system, the best in the 
market is the Hold-Tite® Push Button Vehicle Restraint from Overhead 
Doors in Charlotte. 

A vehicle restraint is installed equipment used to safely lock your transport 
vehicle on the dock during the loading and unloading process. This prevents 
the truck from moving while the forklift operator is loading the goods. 

Vehicle restraints are a valuable safety device needed in manufacturing and 
retail companies. National Safety Council has reported that in 2017, 270,000 
injuries are reported in the transportation and warehousing industry. More than 
25% of industrial accidents happen in the loading docks. So, loading safety 
must be taken seriously by these companies.

With its true positive hydraulic restraining force through a patented hydraulic 
cylinder, spring and rack weldment, the restraining shoe virtually lock your trailer. 
The zero running room definitely prevents “trailer creep” incident, also known as 
“dock walk”. It is catastrophic when the vehicles edge away from the dock or 
prematurely leaves the dock. The loaded forklift may fall in between the gaps of 
the vehicle and building. It could cause damage to the goods, the forklift, the 
vehicle and may cause serious injury, even death to the driver. Installing a vehicle 
restraint is ensuring the safety of your employees and products being transported.

The red and green LED signs outside and inside the dock sends clear signals the 
truck driver and dock attendant when it is safe to load and when it is safe to depart. 
An amber light is also incorporated in the event a safe capture is not achieved.

Advantages of Choosing McGuire’s Barrier Lip Leveler in Greater Charlotte Area

Based on the latest U.S. Census Bureau statistics, Charlotte jumped in the rankings 
of the country’s largest cities and the city’s outlying towns continue to grow at a 
much faster pace. With its additional 13,151 residents between 2017 and 2018, 
bringing its population to nearly 872,500, making it the 16th largest city in America.

Urbanization growth result is brought by the migration of people from rural to urban 
areas, where people migrate to towns and cities in the hope of gaining a better 
standard of living. Probably, one of the reasons for such economic growth is 
Charlotte’s strategic location, ideally suitable for distribution and logistics operation 
businesses specifically for loading docks.    

Overhead Door Company of Charlotte, a Division of DuraServ Corp. has been 
serving the residents of Charlotte for over 35 years installing the best quality 
commercial and residential garage doors, garage door openers, dock equipment, 
and corresponding accessories in and around the Great Charlotte area.  

Living up to its reputation as ‘Largest North American Dealer ‘(2009-2018) with 
Rytec products and ‘MHEDA MVP Award (2013-2018)’, creating a safe loading 
dock environment is our greatest concern. We had been designing and building an 
efficient and productive loading dock where employee safety is a top priority.

Overhead Door Company of Charlotte, offers one of their safety loading products - 
McGuire’s Barrier Lip Leveler, the latest innovations and automated technology, to 
minimize risk and create a safe working environment ideal for any type of business 
applications.

What is a Barrier Lip Leveler?

Under OSHA 1910.26 safety requirement, all elevated work platforms should have
 a safety barrier in place to prevent workers or forklift trucks from hazards or 
accidents like falling off the edge. Safety barriers like leveler barrier lips are installed 
on most pit-style loading dock levelers. Together with a leveler and an extension of 
the lip, positioned several inches above the platform, can act as a barrier to prevent 
trucks from driving over the edge.

Leveler barrier lips can stay in place until the truck trailer is safely positioned and the
 workers can load and unload the trailer. Moreover, it helps prevent forklift trucks from 
accidentally hitting the overhead door when closing. 

McGuire’s Barrier Lip Leveler 

McGuire’s Barrier Lip Leveler safely prevents forklifts, lift trucks, or trailer loads from 
driving off the edge of the loading dock or loading bay in both the stored cross-traffic 
and below dock end loading position. When in use in the back of a trailer the Barrier 
Lip offers a smooth transition between the platform and lip. Moreover, it provides
 protection while allowing processing of end load operations.

Highly effective when utilized with a McGuire hydraulic leveler and vehicle restraint, 
the Barrier Lip offers the best combination for unsurpassed dock safety.

Around the Clock Protection 

McGuire Barrier Lip is designed with superior structural steel ramp while in a stored 
position, providing protection all the time while allowing end loading of a trailer with 
the unit in a below dock position. Unlike others, end loading is still achievable with 
the lip in a safety position. Suitably best for applications such as manufacturing, 
heavy industrial applications, and high volume warehousing and distribution 
applications, where working environments need speed at the same time providing 
full-time protection.    

Safety Measured

The barrier lip is engineered for the safety of the dockworkers and lift trucks, its full 
dock width and 5” to 7” above the cross traffic position, provides a wider space and 
protection, not to roll-off over the loading dock.   

Assuring safety visibility, the McGuire Barrier Lip is painted in yellow paint to highlight 
the Barrier Lip’s transparency even in night time operation where there is less lighting.   

Built with Toughness

Strengthened with superior structural steel, the barrier lip can stop a 10,000 lb. impact 
from a forklift truck at 4 mph, ensuring safety and protection to the workers and 
company equipment. 

Double Safety Measures 

In the event of a premature truck departure, the barrier lip is programmed to
 immediately move into a vertical position giving an extra safety to the working 
environment.

Ideally best for businesses where there are high traffic workloads while at the same 
time securing the safety of company assets. Such applications like manufacturing, 
food and beverage, pharmaceuticals

refrigeration/cold storage and high volume warehousing and distribution, would profit 
more and improve productivity in the long run.  

Engineered Hydraulics

McGuire Barrier Lip is revolutionized with hydraulic design, such that when used with 
the H or HP Series, a hydraulic main cylinder is used to raise the platform and a 
separate lip cylinder is used to control the Barrier Lip.  The hydraulic pump, 
manifold and translucent reservoirs are an integral assembly with hoses routed 
under the platform away from debris. Suitably, for applications such as 
manufacturing, food, retail, warehousing and distribution, where loading and loading 
safety are top priorities.
