The wheel chock is designed to improve safety at the docking station. It has a sensor to detect the vehicle position and correspondingly authorises the dock leveller control unit to be operated or not. The wheel chock is connected to the control unit via a fixed junction box. It also prevents the vehicle from rolling away uncontrolled.

The advantages of the wheel chock over other safety systems are: 

- It can be used for all types of vehicles

- It is easily installed at any time with no previous preparation needed 

Start docking

Only once the chock has been securely positioned against the vehicle tyre, the control unit is released to be operated manually.

Finish docking

When the platform is not under load the leveler has to be returned to cross-traffic position and the wheel chock can be removed and placed in the designated wall support.

Optional traffic lights (inside and/or outside)

Optional double lens traffic lights are available for further safety. When the chock is in position the traffic lights inside the building will turn green to allow the loading process to be carried out. Outside the building traffic, lights will turn to red to indicate that the truck may not move away. When the chock is not positioned against the vehicle tyre the inside traffic lights will be red indicating that no vehicle has docked safely at the loading bay. Outside the building, traffic lights showing green indicate that a vehicle may move to the dock leveller.
