Mounting System: Driveway and dock face mounting using 6 wedge anchor bolts 5/8" dia. x 6" long (16 x 152mm). Transfer of pulling force to driveway improves restraining strength by equalizing forces on anchors. Trailer rear impact guard (ICC bar) during backing in does not impact restraint’s body.

Communication System: Interior red and green indicator lights in the control station. Exterior red and green high visibility traffic style lights and mirror image driver's warning signs. The lighting system alerts both dock attendant and truck driver to the status of the restraint. If vehicle has no restraining ICC bar, the interior and exterior communications lights will flash red, warning the dock attendant that the vehicle is not secured and requires wheel chocks.
