TL85 Hydraulic Vehicle Restraint System


Electro-hydraulic operation.  Simplicity of design, heavy-duty construction materials and no regular adjustments or lubrication requirements put the TL85 Hydraulic Vehicle Restraint in front of more North American loading docks.


Features

  • non-impact ”swing-up” arm designed to confine a vehicles rear impact guard or ICC bar. Vehicles remain safely stationed at the dock without time consuming and uncertain chocking.
  • Services the widest range of trucks with rear impact guards to 29” (737mm) above ground and horizontal ranges to 12” (305mm) beyond the face of the dock. Problems with bent ICC bars, lock-up from hook and impact design restraints are eliminated.
  • Engineered with the focus of minimizing regular maintenance requirements resulting in significant savings over the total life cycle of the product.

Driver Communications Systems

These combinations of signal lights, controls and signage advise both vehicle driver and dock attendant of safe/unsafe, park/depart conditions. High visibility safety systems are available for automated, integrated and manual control situations.

The system is authorized by a key switch on the main control station. The communication system includes interior red and green indicator lights at the interior control station as well as exterior red and green high visibility LED and dual driver warning signs with a mirror image. The lighting system alerts both the vehicle driver and dock attendant. as to the operating status of the vehicle restraint.

In the rare event of a vehicle being without a proper ICC bar, the ICC sensing system alerts the dock attendant and driver of an unsafe condition. In addition the control station is housed in a NEMA 12 (oil, dust and water resistant) enclosure and features an optional LED light bulb burn out indicator and audible alarm to signal an unsafe condition.
