Switching to Wheel Restraints: A Smarter Move for Loading Dock Safety

If you’re still using hook-based restraints with ICC bars, it might be time to rethink things. While these bars were designed to protect against rear-end crashes, they’re not great at keeping trailers securely in place. They bend, misalign, and often don’t have the strength to prevent trailer movement, putting your team and operations at risk.

While wheel-based restraints secure trailers at their strongest point—the wheels—not all systems deliver the same reliability in the face of incidents, often leading to equipment failure. Unlike traditional chocks or locking arm restraints, the POWER CHOCK® keeps trailers firmly secured at the dock, even in the attempt of an early departure. With unmatched performance in all weather conditions, compatibility with all trailer types, reduced maintenance because of their robustness, and long-term cost savings, GMR Safety’s wheel restraints set the standard for the future of loading dock safety.
