Abstract:
A vehicle restraint for a loading dock includes a barricade member that is rotationally operable between a stored position, a blocking position and a verification position. The barricade member in the blocking position is adapted to laterally secure a vehicle relative to the loading dock. An operable latch is coupled proximate an outer end in the barricade member. The operable latch is selectively operable between retracted and extended positions. When the barricade member is in the blocking position and the operable latch is in the extended position, the operable latch vertically secures the vehicle relative to the barricade member.

Claim (Index 19):
A method for operating a vehicle barricade restraint, the method comprising steps of:\n rotating a barricade member from a stored position toward a blocking position; rotating the barricade member past the blocking position to verify a location of a portion of a vehicle within a restraining area between the barricade member and a wall of a loading dock; returning the barricade member to the blocking position after the location of the portion of the vehicle has been verified; and positioning an operable latch of the barricade member within the restraining area between the barricade member and the wall of the loading dock.
