Loading Dock

Vehicle Restraints

Blue Giant vehicle restraints that secure trailers at the dock with LED communication and operator-friendly controls.

Vehicle Restraints hero image

Keep trailers locked to the dock so forklifts can load safely. Blue Giant’s current vehicle restraint family includes HVR303 electric, RVR303 recessed hydraulic, SVR303 submersible hydraulic, TL85 hydraulic, ML10 manual, and Interlock Chock wheel-chocking systems, so Barton can match the restraint style and force rating to each bay instead of treating every model as the same capacity.
