Electric Vehicle Restraint System - RVRE32

The RVRE32 electric restraint system is a raised, front-mounted, above-ground system. The front extension bar provides an operating range of 23 cm (9 in) to 63 cm (25 in) in height. The rotating steel hook provides a restraint capacity of 14,500 kg (32,000 lb). The deeper hook profile increases the size of the rear impact bars (RIG) that can be engaged. The hook shape also reduces stress on the restraint and RIG by distributing it more evenly. Activation of the restraint hook is provided by a floating spring, which is itself actuated by a linear actuator. This floating spring eliminates the effects of shock and loads. The electric actuator is IPx6 rated. The spring-loaded trolley automatically adjusts to the trailer's movement and maintains contact with the vehicle's rear guard. A high-visibility two-way communication system provides communication between the dock attendant and the truck driver.
