How to Choose the Right Trailer Restraint

Not all trailer restraints perform in the same way. Wondering how to choose the right trailer restraint for your job? Here is what you need to consider, courtesy of ritehite.com:
  • Your specific needs such as the types of trailers you service, your dock layout, loading practices and facility design
  • Restraint effectiveness against trailer creep such as below dock endloads and air-ride trailers
  • Restraint effectiveness against early departure such as gradual versus aggressive pull out attempts and the effectiveness of different restraint designs
  • Restraint effectiveness against trailer tipover such as landing gear failure, trailer up-ending and collision with other trucks
  • Communication such as system components and safe/unsafe condition alerts
