 Vehicle Restraints

Many forklift accidents occur every year caused by a truck prematurely departing from the dock or creeping away due to loading and unloading momentum. Installing Poweramp Vehicle Restraints can help prevent these accidents by securing a trailer to the dock and providing better communication between the truck driver and dock attendant.

Safety Barriers

Poweramp offers an option to have a barrier installed on the leveler’s lip or as a bar that is lowered in front of the dock door opening.
