The StrongArm™ SVR303 low-profile, non-impact restraint arm by Blue Giant Equipment uses switchless technology to detect incoming rear impact guard bars.
Once engaged, the device uses 35,000 pounds of restraining force to secure the truck to the dock. Dual-acting hydraulic cylinders prevent lock-ups and releases, while an intelligent positioning system constantly communicates the location of the restraint arm through a network. This enables an integrated light communication system to accurately display safety conditions at the dock.
Features include low profile, 8-inch construction, vertical restraint from 8 to 26 inches, NEMA6 sealed sensor and double-acting hydraulic cylinders that keep the unit operating safely during wet or flooded conditions.
Company Description:
ANSI MH30.3 tested and approved, the StrongArm™ SVR303 is a low-profile, non-impact design with a rotating arm that seeks a trailer’s ICC bar via a patented, switchless technology.
Once engaged, it uses 35,000 lb (15,909 kg) of restraining force to secure the truck to the dock. Dual-acting hydraulic cylinders prevent lock-up and release problems.
The Intelligent Positioning System (IPS) constantly communicates the location of the restraint arm via a network that enables the integrated lights communication system to accurately display safety conditions at the loading dock.
Innovative Design and Operation
- A profile that is one of the lowest in the industry (8” / 203 mm), significantly reducing the risk of impact damage
- Vertical restraining range from 8” to 26” (203 mm to 660 mm) above grade with minimum 4” (102 mm) contact space required
- Horizontal restraining range up to 13” (330 mm) from the face of the dock
- A high-visibility barrier-style restraint arm that uses passive engagement keep an ICC bar secured, resulting in less wear and tear and a lower lifetime cost of ownership
- An Intelligent Positioning System (IPS) that does not use mechanical switches and sensors to detect the ICC bar, resulting in more dependable performance
- PosiLock™ dual mechanical lock system that guards against accidental trailer separation and ensures safe, reliable performance during all stages of the engagement cycle
- Submersible: NEMA6 IPS sensor and double-acting hydraulic cylinders keep the unit operating safely and efficiently during wet or flooded conditions
- Restraint arm dislodges or breaks apart obstacles that prevent it from properly parking
Intelligent Touch Controls
- The Blue Genius™ Gold Series II Touch Control Panel features include an LCD menu screen, function buttons and a flat surface keypad with unique touch sensors
- Interior and exterior LED lights keep drivers and warehouse personnel advised of safety conditions
- Audible alarm built into the control panel alerts the dock attendant to potentially unsafe conditions, such as broken or missing ICC bars
- Audible touch buttons and keypad provide instant sound feedback to user input
