A line of zinc-plated truck locks by Nova Technology is offered in two self-contained housing styles—bolt-in flange that anchors to the concrete drive and cast-in embedded into the concrete drive.
The locks provide more than 30,000 pounds of restraining force to prevent a vehicle from departing prematurely. Offered in powered and manual versions, the device features inside/outside light communication and a non-impact ram bar restraint that rises above the under-ride guards. After the truck/trailer backs into position against the dock bumpers the dock attendant switches the device to the restrain position. This turns the outside light red and inside light green.
Once the attendant verifies that the ram bar is positioned above the under-ride guard, it is safe to enter the trailer. Upon completion of loading/unloading, switching the device to the release position deactivates the restraint. For safety, all activation components are housed inside the building.
