When a trailer is pulled away from the dock during vehicle loading/unloading, it creates an uncomfortable situation and can lead to major accidents. If a trailer is inadvertently pulled away from the dock, you risk damaging the inventory by mishandling it, risking employees being injured, and exposing your company to liability.
Accidents can occur as a result of small gaps between the hand truck or trailer and the dock. Vehicle restraints used to secure trailers in place while loading/unloading enhance safety and provide an all–around safe and controlled working condition for the employee.
Vulcan Door provides commercial-grade vehicle restraints that are constructed specifically to work with your current dock equipment and add safety throughout your daily operations.
Dock safety should not rely specifically on restraint systems; facilities must have a proper restraint system available at all times to minimize risk associated with damage to inventories and provide a safe working area and improve control over the efficiency of operations for their employees.
