Hydraulic vehicle restraint uses same power unit as dock leveler.

Hydraulic vehicle restraint uses same power unit as dock leveler.

Recently introduced, the new RVR32 vehicle restraint safety system by Pentalift features hydraulic operation, making the device’s activation more reliable in adverse weather conditions.

Because no external electric motor is required, the unit can be submersed for extended periods of time. Additionally, the restraint system can be powered by the same unit supplying a hydraulic dock leveler.

The device is provided with interior and exterior communication lights, interior and exterior signs, control panel and a hydraulic power unit.


Company Description:

The RVR32 vehicle restraint safety system is a raised, face mounted, off the ground design. The front extension bar provides an operating range of 9” low to 25” high. The rotating steel hook design provides a 32,000 lb restraining capacity. The activation of the restraint hook is made by a hydraulic cylinder.

The hydraulic circuit incorporates a relief valve to protect the drive components from impact and shock loads. This restraint is submersible, offers an extreme high and low temperature range and can utilize a common hydraulic power unit when combined with a hydraulic dock leveler.

The spring loaded carriage automatically adjusts to trailer movement “float” maintaining contact with the vehicle rear impact guard. A high visibility two way communication system provides communication between the dock attendant and the truck driver.
