StrongArm HVR303 Electric Trailer Restraint
The wall-mounted Blue Giant StrongArm HVR303 electric vehicle restraint secures a trailer to the loading dock via an electro-mechanical hook design.
Easy to install and eco-friendly, the HVR303 combines advanced engineering, positive holding ability, and sophisticated touch controls to make your loading dock safer than ever before.
Instant Compensation Float
With a vertical restraining range of 9″ to 25″ and instant float of 16″, the HVR303 services a wide variety of trailers, including those with bent or damaged ICC bars. Ability to adjust automatically to trailer motion makes it compatible with air-ride suspension systems, enabling solid engagement and minimizing the risk of separation and worker injury.
Submersible for Extreme Weather
The IP67-rated motor is submersible up to 3.3′ (1m) to prevent it from getting damaged in extreme weather conditions.
Strength You Can Depend On
With a restraining force of 32,000 lb (14,545 kg), the StrongArm™ HVR303 helps prevent the dangers associated with unexpected horizontal or vertical trailer movement. The secure gripping and holding capability enables a smooth and fortified bridge between the loading dock and the trailer, keeping cargo, equipment, and forklift operators safer during loading and unloading. It’s designed to comply with ANSI MH30.3.
StrongArm SVR303 Hydraulic Trailer Restraint
ANSI MH30.3 tested and approved, the StrongArm SVR303 is a low-profile, non-impact design with a rotating arm that seeks a trailer’s ICC bar via a patented, switchless technology.
Once engaged, it uses 35,000 lb of restraining force to secure the truck to the dock. Dual-acting hydraulic cylinders prevent lock-up and release problems.
Submersible for Extreme Weather
NEMA6 IPS sensor and double-acting hydraulic cylinders keep the unit operating safely and efficiently during wet or flooded conditions.
While the restraint arm dislodges or breaks apart obstacles that prevent it from properly parking. Furthermore, the restraint arm can be left engaged overnight, deterring trailer theft.
StrongArm TL85 Hydraulic Vehicle Restraint
The Blue Giant StrongArm TL85 hydraulic vehicle restraint keeps dock operations safe and secure during loading and unloading.
Trucks and trailers are held firmly in place by a high-visibility barrier-style restraint arm, and a restraining force of 32,000 lbs prevents accidental separation from the loading dock during the cargo handling process.
The TL85 may be left engaged overnight to deter trailer theft
StrongArm RVR303 Hydraulic Trailer Restraint
The Blue Giant StrongArm™ RVR303 has a recessed hook design that combines high levels of safety and performance integrity.
Trucks and trailers are held firmly in place by a high-visibility barrier-style restraint hook, preventing accidental separation from the loading dock during the cargo handling process. After each use, the RVR303 is stored within the dock face and protected with brush sealing to remain clear of the debris zone.
The RVR303 may be left engaged overnight to deter trailer theft.
StrongArm ML10 Mechanical Trailer Restraint
The manually operated StrongArm ML10 is engaged and released by a single detachable control rod. Because no bending or lifting is required, the risk of employee strain or injury is significantly reduced.
Strong Hold
30,000 lb of restraining force prevents premature truck departure during loading and unloading. The unit can be left in a locked position overnight to discourage trailer theft.
No Power Necessary
Certain applications, such as chemical handling facilities or grain storage locations, involve explosive substances and require limited interaction with electrical devices. The ML10 is a safe and reliable restraining device for these situations because of its entirely mechanical operation.
Non-Impact Operation
The passive engagement style results in less wear and tear and lowers maintenance requirements.
With a vertical restraining range of 11″ to 26″ above ground and horizontal reach of 13″, the ML10 is compatible with virtually all modern trucks and trailers, even those with air-ride suspension systems
Easy to Operate
Food and Pharmaceutical Safe
The NEMA4X (moisture and corrosion resistant) push-button control station for easy operations.
The control panel can be upgraded to a Blue Genius Gold III control panel to integrate with your trailer restraints, doors and/or lights.
