One of the most significant risks to employees and cargo is the truck moving while loading or unloading freight. To avoid this, you’ll need a vehicle restraint. This is a large metal hook and chain that is secured to the base of the dock. The restraint can then be attached to either the truck’s frame or the truck’s bumper to hold the truck firmly in place.  This heavy metal hook and chain help you avoid the truck moving, even while forklifts and other heavy machinery are moving between the dock and the truck bed. Vehicle restraints are a crucial safety feature for any dock, so choose a restraint that is well-rated for durability, strength, and reliability.
