Simple
and Reliable Performance
|
|
|
|
Dual
Locking |
|
|
Mechanical
activation of the PowerStop Series Restraint
is easy. The dock attendant simply lifts up on the release
lever with the operating bar after the truck is parked
against the dock bumpers. The restraint is easily observed
capturing the Rear Impact Guard (RIG). During the
loading process, the spring loaded restraint arm floats
freely with the trailer. |
|
|
A
uniquely configured restraining arm dramatically limits
trailer creep to the 50% better than competitors
and
substantially reduces the possibility of premature
departure and landing gear collapse. |

Effective
Communication |
|
|
|
|
When
combined with Dock Alert™ communication
system, the PowerStop fosters and extremely safe and
efficient loading dock environment by establishing a
clear
line of communication between truck drivers and dock
personnel. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Low
Maintenance Design |
|
|
|
A
stationary mount design means less maintenance which
can limit potential damage throughout the life of the
PowerStop. A protective "bellows style" debris
guard
prevents debris build up in and around the restraint
arm,
reducing house keeping and maintenance requirements.
The PowerStop is quickly and easily stored by pushing
down on the restraint arm assembly with the operating
bar. |

The
inside control panel and exterior compact light
package incorporate instinctive red and green signals
which work in opposing modes. A green light outside
guides a backing truck into the dock position while
a
red light inside warns the dock attendant that loading/
unloading conditions are not safe. Once the PowerStop
has secured the vehicle, the lights can be witched to
green inside and red outside, informing the truck driver
to not move and indicating a safe condition for the
dock
attendant. |

DESCRIPTION: |

PowerStop-MAL
- PowerStop-MAL with Automatic |
|
| All
Manual PowerStop (PowerStop-M) vehicle restraints |
|
|
Dock
Alert Communication System. Adding the automatic
Dock Alert communication system to the PowerStop-M |
|
are
designed to secure a cargo trailer’s Rear Impact
Guard (RIG) to reduce the likelihood of premature trailer
separation during the loading/unloading process. The
exclusive PowerStop vehicle restraint features a complete
mechanical restraint mechanism, activation rod and storage
bracket, along with communication signage. An optional
Dock Alert Communication System, including inside
control panel and exterior communication lights, is
also
available. |
|
establishes
a clear line of communication between truck
drivers and dock personnel. During normal operation
the
control panel switch is in the “On” position.
When the
restraint arm is in the stored position, the exterior
light
will flash green indicating the truck is clear to approach
or depart the dock while the interior light flashed
red
warning the dock attendant conditions are not safe for
loading/unloading. Once the restraint has been activated,
and the dock attendant confirms the restraint arm has
engaged the RIG, the Dock Alert will automatically
change light signal conditions. Now the exterior light
flashed red warning the driver not to pull away, while
the
interior light flashes green indicating safe conditions
and to
proceed with the loading/unloading. In the “By-Pass”
position, the system will override the automatic feature
providing a flashing red light on the exterior and a
flashing
green on the interior. |

|
| CONSTRUCTION: |
|
| The
PowerStop-M restraint system is designed to be a |
|
stationary
mount, non-impact device, permanently mounted
to loading dock foundation or drive approach. Restraint
shall be preserved in a non-corrosive powder-coated
finish
with plated hardware. Restraint arm shall be protected
by
a bellows style cover to eliminate the accumulation
of |
|
| debris.
Once activated, the PowerStop-M extends upward |
|
to
the RIG. The uniquely designed dual locking restraint
arm minimizes “trailer creep”, securing the
trailer with over |

tight against dock bumpers, the dock attendant inserts
one
end of the operating bar under the release lever on
the right
hand side of the restraint and lifts up, activating
the restraint.
The spring loaded float assembly allows the restraint
arm to
move up and down with the RIG during the loading
process. Dock attendant should visually inspect and
confirm that the restraint has traveled vertically and
has
engaged the horizontal member of the RIG. The operating
bar can then be returned to its storage bracket. Dock
leveler may be activated and loading/unloading may begin.
When loading/unloading is complete and the dock leveler
is returned to its stored position, the operating bar
is
inserted into the top of the slide track on the restraint.
The
restraint arm is pushed down until the release lever
locks
the restraint arm. Operating bar is returned to its
storage
bracket. |
|
|
| The
PowerStop-M, PowerStop-MML, PowerStop-MAL |
|
vehicle
restraint are available as a stand alone unit or
combined electrically with your dock leveler selection. |
|
| Electrical
requirements for PowerStop-MML and |
|
| PowerStop-MAL
are 115v single phase installed in a |
|
NEMA
12 enclosure. All electrical control panel
components, connections and wiring are UL listed/
recognized. Please Note: Unless specifically noted on
quotation, all electrical requirements, including mounting
of control box, outside lights and signs, are the
responsibility of others. |

Alert communication system to the PowerStop-M |
|
| establishes
a clear line of communication between truck drivers
and dock personnel. At the beginning and end of a |
|
loading
cycle, the dock attendant positions the selector
switch on the interior control panel to the “Do
Not Service
Trailer” position. A flashing red light on the
interior panel
warns the dock attendant conditions are not safe for
loading/unloading, while a flashing green light on the
exterior wall indicates the truck is cleared to approach
or
depart the dock. Once the restraint has been activated
and
the dock attendant confirms the restraint arm has engaged
the RIG, the selector switch should be placed in the
“Service Trailer” position. In this position
the exterior light
will flash red warning the driver not to pull away,
while the
interior light will be flashing green indicating safe
conditions
and to proceed with the loading/unloading. |
