 |  | UPDATED, STATE-OF-THE-ART DOK-LOK® DESIGN SETS NEW VEHICLE RESTRAINT PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
MILWAUKEE -- Rite-Hite Corporation, pioneer of the vehicle restraint industry, introduces a new, state-of-the-art DOK-LOK restraining system. The original rotating-hook design has been augmented with engineered structure enhancements and advanced controls technology in the new RHR-1000 model DOK-LOK restraint to give it the greatest ability to safely and reliably secure modern trailers.
Several features make the newest DOK-LOK restraints the most advanced in the industry. For example, a unique, 9” ultra low-profile carriage can capture the widest range of trailer rear impact guards (RIGs). The lower profile accommodates those RIGs, now found on an estimated 70% of all OTR trailers, built to standards set in accordance with 1998 National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) regulations. In addition, the unique articulating nose extension allows the carriage to travel lower to the ground to avoid damage to the restraint or the RIG when trailers with very low beds and/or RIGs back into position at the dock.

The RHR-1000 DOK-LOK restraint also employs Universal Restraint Controller technology, which allows virtually infinite flexibility for interconnecting controls with other powered dock equipment. The controls system also features an audible alarm with a coded override, as well as self-diagnostics and simple troubleshooting capability.
For maximum productivity and minimal dock downtime, the RHR-1000 restraint contains fewer moving parts, ensuring the highest possible reliability and lowest maintenance. The New E-Z-Lube™ axle design makes occasional lubrication quick and simple.
The new RHR-1000 also utilizes the features available in other original DOK-LOK restraints, such as automatic positioning and constant-pressure contact. The power of the trailer is used to automatically bring the restraint into the proper positioning for engagement. No external power is required, and the “best fit” is guaranteed each time. Powerful extension springs provide superior upward force against the RIG to keep the trailer secure as it moves up and down during loading and unloading. This is particularly important with today’s popular air-ride equipped trailers which can fluctuate dramatically in height while the trailer is being serviced.
