Why Vehicle Restraints?

Vehicle restraints, or dock locks, secure trucks at the loading dock and prevent them from moving while loading or unloading. They typically interlock with the trailer’s rear impact guard (RIG) or wheels.

Rite-Hite Dok-Loks

Commonly referred to as truck restraints, trailer restraints, or dock locks, are known world-wide for:

• Versatile hook and barrier designs that help address more types of trailer/dock separation accidents than any other restraint.
• Communicating the Dok-Lok’s engagement status to the forklift driver at the loading dock and while inside the trailer with a full-time, light communication system.
• Superior quality resulting from unique design characteristics, the highest construction standards and years of research and development.

Dok-Lok History

The original Dok-Lok® Vehicle Restraint was introduced on April 22, 1980 – marking the launch of an industry that would fundamentally improve employee safety and productivity; increase product security; and reduce equipment damage at the loading dock. The undertaking was inspired by a critical need to safely secure trailers to the loading dock – and that mission continues.
