POWER CHOCK® 5 is an internationally patented ergonomic wheel-based vehicle restraint that prevent accident risks at loading docks during handling operations.
As the #1 selling wheel-based restraint in North America, it delivers one of the most complete safety sequences available to secure loading and unloading operations with a market-exclusive 5-year warranty. Its optimized design and upgraded articulating arm allow drivers to position and secure the trailer quickly, effectively, and with minimal effort.
The dock leveler and/or door can’t be operated unless the POWER CHOCK® is properly engaged.
At the core of every POWER CHOCK® system is an integrated communication panel designed to simplify loading dock operations and improve safety coordination between workers, drivers, and equipment.
The control panel combines visual and audible communication signals into one centralized interface, allowing operators to instantly verify the status of the loading process. Connected directly to the dock door and leveler, the communication system helps enforce a secure loading sequence while reducing the risk of human error or unsafe trailer movement.
Designed for high-traffic warehouse environments, the interface is intuitive, easy to understand, and accessible to all dock personnel regardless of experience level.
Key advantages include:
The POWER CHOCK® communication system supports smoother workflows, better operator awareness, and more controlled loading dock activity.
Loading docks do not stop operating when winter arrives, and neither should your vehicle restraint system.
For more than 30 years, POWER CHOCK® systems have been engineered and tested to withstand harsh winter climates, including snow, ice accumulation, freezing rain, and extreme cold temperatures commonly found across North America.
To support year-round performance, optional protective components are available to help maintain uninterrupted operation even in facilities exposed to heavy snow removal operations.
Features designed for winter environments:
For optimal durability, GMR Safety recommends using blue salt or a de-icing product rated for temperatures as low as -30 °C (-22 °F) during winter conditions, when required. You may also contact us for more assistance.
Protect your equipment and extend its lifespan with durable, wall-mounted steel arm bumpers. Designed to shield the restraint arm when in the stored position, they help prevent damage during daily operations.
In busy loading dock environments, visibility plays a critical role in maintaining safe and efficient operations.
Optional POWER CHOCK® LED Corner Lights extend the communication signals from the control panel directly to the dock door area, giving forklift operators and warehouse personnel immediate visual confirmation of the dock status.
Mounted at the upper corners of the door, these high-visibility lights display clear red and green signals that help reduce uncertainty, improve reaction time, and minimize communication errors during loading and unloading operations.
