"Pentalock MR35 Mechanical Vehicle Restraint"

The Pentalock MR35 mechanical vehicle restraint offers a rugged structural design, simple operation and maximum product value. The loading dock has been rated as one of the most hazardous areas of a facility. Serious loading dock accidents can result from such things as premature truck departure, trailer creep and collapsing of landing gear. The MR35 offers a practical solution to loading dock safety concerns. Construction features, such as the heavy duty steel gaurd and solid steel restraining arms ensure a long reliable life.

The restraint is designed to provide automatic vertical compensation to accommodate the movement of the trailer's suspension during loading/unloading. Gas shock activation and a positive lock-down mechanism make the MR35 a reliable and easy to use product. the simple operation promotes continued use of the restraint by the dock attendant. It's fully mechanical design makes the restraint easy to install and maintain as well as providing the flexability of relocating if necessary.

Operation
When not in use the restraint is held in the lowered position by the positive lock-down mechanism. Once the truck/trailer is positioned, the operator uses the "T" handled operating bar to release the lock-down. The restraining arms raise until contact is made with the vehicle's I.C.C. bar. If no I.C.C. bar is present or it cannot be restrained, the operator returns the unit to the stroed position and manually chocks the vehicle's wheels. The restraint "floats" over the entire operation range in relation to the movement of the trailer's suspension. When loading/unloading is complete, the operator uses the "T" handled operating bar to return the restraint to the lowered position.
