Vehicle Restraints
A vehicle restraint secures a trailer to the dock to prevent premature departure and trailer creep during loading, a common cause of forklift accidents. DLM makes six: the TPR, TPR UniLock, PowerStop Automatic, PowerStop Manual, and EZ-Lock restraints, which secure the trailer’s rear impact guard (RIG), and the UXL and Unichock, which chock the trailer’s wheels.”
TPR® Series Automatic Restraint
The DLM® TPR® truck positioned vehicle restraint is designed to automatically position itself and secure a trailer’s rear impact guard (RIG) to reduce the likelihood of premature trailer separation during the loading/ unloading process.
Features
- Low Profile Design
- Zinc Plated Finish
- Exclusive Gear Motor
- NHTSA
- Advanced Communication
- Signs Included
TPR UniLock® Automatic Restraint
The TPR UniLock® is the only trailer-postioned vehicle restraint that can automatically remove "RIG Wedge" pressure. RIG Wedge is caused when the trailer is pushed forward during loading/unloading and the trailer's Rear Impact Guard (RIG) applies so much pressure to the restraint's hook that the truck driver must reverse the trailer in order to release the restraint.

- Locking Mechanism
- Advanced Communication
- Signs Included

EZ-Lock™ Vehicle Restraint
The EZ-Lock™ is a manual hook-style vehicle restraint that secures the trailer’s rear impact guard (RIG) at the dock to reduce the risk of premature departure and trailer movement during loading and unloading.
