The Smart-Hook AR-20K automatic vehicle restraint with 32,000 pounds of restraining force secures trucks at the loading dock by deploying a large rotating hook to engage a trailer’s rear impact guard.
The restraint offers a no-pinch auxiliary lock system that secures trailers with rear impact guard obstructions for maximum safety and an integrated impact-guard to maximize front carriage strength.
Additionally, the included battery reserve system supplies auto-recharging battery power to the restraint and powers communication lights for more than 24 hours.
