Vehicle restraints on view

Posted on Friday 1 January 2010

The patented PowerChock vehicle restraint systems from GMR Safety will be on view in Paris (Stand S109, Hall 6) at SITL Europe from 22nd to 25th March 2016.

The systems prevent dangerous trailer creep and premature driveaway, two of the most common and most serious causes of major accidents in the warehousing and logistics sectors.

The economically-priced Powerchock Portable 3 combines affordability while still presenting impressive effectiveness and restraining capabilities. The top of the line PowerChock System 5 includes the ergonomical spring-loaded arm to easily place the large chock against the wheel.

Depending on the model, Powerchock equipment offers varying levels of control with self-check diagnostics and maintenance monitoring, communication using interior/exterior lights and detection sophistication for integration with other safety devices and dock and door interlock capabilities with alarms. GMR proposes a patented robust door lock that secures the door opening until the chock is set.

At the heart of every Powerchock System is a unique chock and groundplate interface which uses a series of specially hardened, interconnecting teeth to create a virtually unbreakable lock between the groundplate and the base of the chock. Fitted inside each chock is a sensor which ensures correct and safe placement. The new chock design captures the deformation of the truck tyre providing best restraining force when a vehicle applies excessive pressure during a premature departure attempt. 

All Powerchock wheel based restraints offer the flexibility necessary to cope with different vehicle types.
