About
TRUCK & DOCK RESTRAINTS
Truck & dock restraints are an important mechanism for ensuring trailers are securely fastened to your facility during loading and unloading. We’re proud to offer sales, service & maintenance on all types of truck & dock restraints across Canada.
What is the benefit of using truck or dock restraints?
Truck & dock restraints help with two main issues in the loading dock area: trailer creep & early departure.
Trailer creep occurs when a truck slowly moves away from the loading dock as a result of traffic in and out of the truck. It can often be a very gradual process that is easy to miss in a busy, time-sensitive environment.
Early departure is a simple human error wherein the driver exits the dock area too soon. This can lead to loss of product, damage to the truck and/or dock and potentially even injure employees. Both of these serious issues (and others) can be avoided with the simple installation of truck restraints that secure the truck to the dock leveller during the loading & unloading process.
To learn more about how truck and dock restraints can prevent these issues, see our article on 4 Ways Truck Restraints Can Prevent Injury & Damage.

The restraint features all electronic mechanics- including position sensors- which eliminates the maintenance that is often required on mechanical limit switches.
