Vehicle Restraints

The Hold-Tite® automatic vehicle restraint has push button activation with PLC solid state controls (115V/1PH) and a low profile, non-impact design for wall or driveway mount. Equipped with true positive hydraulic restraining force it virtually eliminates “trailer creep”, a major cause of incidents at the loading dock. It comes standard with auto restore and an amber caution light indicator if a trailer has no RIG (rear impact guard) or a badly damaged RIG. Keyed override for interlock condition and automatic light sequencing to indicate RIG or no RIG are some of the outstanding safety features.

The Hold-Tite® automatic vehicle restrain is built to last with full two (2) year base warranty on structural, hydraulic and electrical components and an additional three (3) years on structural. It also meets all current NHTSA regulations.

Designed to Accomodate RIG’s (Rear Impact Guards) as Outlined in the NHTSA Regulations
The Hold-Tite® restraint is a low profile, non-impact style restraint designed for wall or driveway mounting thus providing flexibility for install while accommodating virtually all RIG designs outlined by the NHTSA regulations.

Positive Restraining Force for Zero Running Room
This restraint provides the best possible restriction job of any on the market today. Equipped with true positive hydraulic restraining force via a patented hydraulic cylinder, spring and rack weldment with a restraint shoe it will virtually lock your trailer in place. Don’t settle for less.

Easy to Understand Controls to Maximize Performance
Push button activation of all PLC solid state controls with an automatic restore function and amber warning light in the event of missing or badly damaged RIG bar. A 3 position keyed over-ride allows usage of restraint in those conditions.

Concise and Clear Communication Between the Dock Attendant and the Truck Driver
The Red/Green LED inside/outside lights and signs assure your dock attendant and the drivers are kept “in the know” for when it is safe to do any movement at the dock. We also incorporate an amber caution light in the event a safe capture has not occurred.

The McGuire TPR® truck positioned vehicle restraint is designed to automatically position itself and secure a trailer’s rear impact guard (RIG) to reduce the likelihood of premature trailer separation during the loading/ unloading process.

TThe TPR® is designed to withstand a pulling force in excess of 32,000 lbs, and has a service range of 4” to 10” horizontally from the face of the dock bumpers and 9” to 30” vertically above drive approach. The integral motor, gear and brake assembly is specifically designed for the TPR®. The TPR® vehicle restraint is highly adaptable to new or existing loading docks.

Automatic Positioning Each and Every Time
The unit is designed to automatically positon itself with carriage the moves upon contact with a trailer RIG that moves the restraint into the proper position for restraint hood to engage upon operation.

Designed With Keeping Contact With the Trailer RIG in Mind
An exclusively designed integral gear motor, gear and brake assembly keeps the capture hook continuously engaged. Combine this with a low profile 9” carriage and a service range of 9” to 27” off grade and you have what you need in a vehicle restraint.

Advanced Three Light Communication System is the New Standard
Loading docks are noisy and horns may be missed. The McGuire advanced 3 light system has an amber caution light easily seen by the dock attendant warning a safe capture has not occurred so they can take appropriate steps to secure the trailer.

The Stop-Tite® M, MML & MAL are all manually activated vehicle restraints via an operate handle. They have a low profile, non-impact design for wall and driveway mount. All three (3) types have a protective debris guard and a Zinc dichromate finish.

The M version is manual operation and signs only. The MML version is manual operation and a manually operated communication system changed via a selector switch on an internal control panel that sequences the red/green inside/outside lights. The MAL version comes equipped with switching that will automatically sequence the inside/outside red/green lights. The MAL also has a RIG sensor bar that notifies dock workers with an audible alarm if the restraint’s arm is not securely engaged with the trailer’s Rear Impact Guard. All three (3) versions feature a full one (1) year base warranty on all structural, hydraulic and electrical components.
