LOADING BAY SOLUTIONS
Track Positioning & Restraint
Vehicle guidance and restraint systems that keep trucks safely positioned at the dock throughout the entire loading and unloading process.

Uncontrolled vehicle movement during loading operations is one of the leading causes of dock-related accidents. Wheel guides, vehicle restraints, and positioning systems ensure trucks remain locked in place, protecting workers, equipment, and cargo from the moment the vehicle docks until it is cleared to depart.
VARIANT 01
Wheel Guides
Steel or rubber guide rails installed along the approach lane to steer reversing vehicles into the correct docking position. Simple, passive systems that dramatically reduce misalignment and dock strikes.
- Hot-dip galvanized steel construction
- Available in fixed and foldable designs
- Reduces dock door and wall damage
- Maintenance-free passive operation
VARIANT 02
Vehicle Restraint Systems
Powered hook or barrier systems that physically lock the truck’s rear wheels or chassis in place. These are the most effective method to prevent premature vehicle departure — the primary cause of forklift fall-from-dock accidents.
- Automatic engagement and release
- Holding force up to 40,000 kg
- Visual and audible safety indicators
- Integration with dock leveler and traffic lights
VARIANT 03
Trailer Positioning Systems
Guided rail or sensor-based systems that help drivers position trailers precisely at the dock opening. Especially valuable for facilities with tight approach lanes, angled docks, or high volumes of mixed-fleet vehicles.
- Sensor-guided approach assistance
- Compatible with any trailer width
- Reduces docking time significantly
- LED indicators for driver guidance

Why Choose Our Restraint Systems?
Accident Prevention
Eliminate the risk of trailer creep, premature departure, and dock walk. Vehicle restraints are the single most effective safety measure for loading bays.
Regulatory Compliance
Meet and exceed European safety standards for loading dock operations. Proper restraint systems are required in many countries and by most insurance providers.
Operational Safety
Integrated communication between the restraint system, dock leveler, and traffic signals creates a fully coordinated, fail-safe loading sequence.
