Different Types of Trailer Restraints

There are different types of trailer restraints. The following is a description of them, courtesy of ritehite.com.
  • RIG dependant restraints: attach onto the trailer's RIG (rear impact guard or ICC bar)
  • Vertical barrier restraints: can address trailer creep and early departure
  • Rotating hook restraints: can address trailer creep, early departure, landing gear failure and trailer tipover
  • Wheel dependant restraint: engages the trailer's rear wheel instead of the RIG. Used often with lift gate trailers
