One Hudson Ave. The MTR-1A truck restraint is designed to secure an intact and proper ICC bar at the rear of the trailer. Restraint is accomplished by release of device arms that have upper arm and hook integrated as one unit. A gas spring provides an upward bias movement of arms and insures constant contact to the ICC bar. Operating range is from 12 to 30 vertically from grade and a 10 grasping range from the face of a 4 thick bumper.
Restraint is in stored position as trailer is backed against bumpers and brakes are set.
Dock attendant makes a visual check for intact ICC bar. Attendant then lowers restraint hook into the release latch, releasing the restraint. The gas spring raises the arms until upper arm with hook makes contact with ICC bar. Storage is accomplished by the attendant manually lowering the unit into the stored position, the release latch will hold the unit in the stored position. The truck may now depart and the MTR-1A is ready for the next incoming truck.
