Inkema vehicle restraint systems secure trucks during loading and unloading operations to prevent unintended vehicle movement. This is particularly important at loading bays where multiple operations take place simultaneously or where heavy loads are handled.
Our range includes manual and automatic vehicle restraint systems that can be integrated with traffic lights and dock levellers. They are designed to reduce risks and comply with applicable safety standards for modern logistics operations.
Their role is simple but essential: to ensure the vehicle remains securely restrained until loading or unloading has been completed.
Answers to the most common questions about our vehicle restraint systems and wheel chocks.
The main risk at a loading bay is the unintended movement of the vehicle while the dock leveller is in use or operators are working inside the trailer. This movement can cause falls, crushing incidents, damage to goods or forklift accidents.
Vehicle restraint systems physically secure the truck until loading and unloading operations have been completed safely, improving overall loading bay safety.
A wheel chock is an auxiliary device placed under the wheel to help prevent vehicle movement. A vehicle restraint system actively secures the wheel or trailer using a fixed mechanism integrated into the loading bay.
Vehicle restraint systems provide a higher level of safety because they can be integrated with dock levellers, doors and traffic lights to prevent unsafe loading and unloading operations.
The CS41 is an electromechanical system designed for standard operations where a robust and straightforward solution is required.
The CS51 incorporates automatic wheel detection and locking without manual intervention, making it more suitable for logistics centres with intensive traffic or multiple simultaneous loading operations.
The choice mainly depends on the desired level of automation and dock operating frequency.
The CA01 uses photocell detection and wired power supply, making it a simple solution for conventional installations.
The CA02 Wireless incorporates integrated detection and radio-frequency communication, eliminating the need for cabling at the loading dock.
The CA02 is often selected when a more flexible installation or reduced installation complexity is required.
Yes. In fact, one of their primary functions is to prevent loading and unloading operations from starting unless the vehicle has been correctly immobilised.
Inkema vehicle restraint systems can be synchronised with dock levellers, doors and traffic lights to ensure a safe operating sequence throughout the entire process.
The main safety standards and recommendations agree on the need to prevent unintended vehicle movement during loading and unloading. To achieve this, they recommend active restraint systems integrated with the rest of the loading bay equipment.
In Europe, references such as Directive 89/391/EEC, ISO 45001, the INRS ED 6059 guide and the NTP 1076 published by the INSST all follow the same operational safety approach.
Vehicle restraint systems require periodic inspections of the locking mechanism, anchor points, signalling devices and electrical or electromechanical components, which can be carried out quickly and efficiently thanks to their design.
For wheel chocks, it is advisable to check the condition of the polyurethane body and detection systems. Basic preventive maintenance is usually sufficient to ensure reliable operation, even in intensive-use environments.
