SMART
CHOCK™
is an innovative trailer restraint
system that secures your vehicle while
effectively communicating with drivers
and loading dock workers to ensure
a safe and productive work environment.
Smart
Chock has an oversized yet lightweight
aluminum chock containing an ultra,sonic
sensor in conjunction with a patented
light/communication system.
|
Smart Chock is a versatile restraint
system that can accommodate a wide variety
of vehicles, and is not dependant
on the condition or location of the
ICC bar on a trailer.
SAVES
TIME & MONEY
Smart
Chock requires very little maintenance
and is easy to use, unlike mechanical
restraint systems that consistently
fail and require costly maintenance.
Smart Chock helps minimize downtime
at the loading dock with a reliable
control system and easy to monitor chock
assembly. The ultra,sonic sensor
inside the chock housing is designed
for use in all weather conditions,
and for any type of truck. Our quick,connect
military spec cord is extremely durable,
and takes seconds to change if it’s
ever damaged. Smart Chock is priced
considerably less than typical mechanical
restraints and offers a more consistent,
reliable performance. Smart Chock eliminates
the need for costly service and maintenance
contracts.
SAFETY
IS A MAJOR CONCERN
Smart Chock offers
an innovative safety feature that alerts
the dock workers when the chock is prematurely
removed. The inside control panel and
dock light will flash on and off, alerting
dock workers that the trailer is no
longer secured. (Versa Light® dock
light sold separately). Inside
and outside audible alarms are standard
features also. Smart Chock provides
a safe, seamless communication system
that is easy for workers to implement,
it does not provide a bypass switch,
eliminating the possibility of the system
being overridden.
SAVES
ENERGY...GO GREEN
Smart
Chock’s entire system runs on
115V/.5 AMP , very low energy
consumption. Smart Chock is able to
integrate with other dock equipment
to save on unnecessary energy costs.
We can interlock your Versa Light dock
light, AeroTec fan, and
leveler to function only when the wheel
is chocked and the door is open which
reduces energy consumption.
