    The Powerchock™ 3 - Portable locking system

    The Powerchock™ 3 is a simple, manual wheel restraint system for securing vehicles at loading docks.

    The Powerchock™ 3 is a simple, effective and easy-to-install vehicle-restraint system. It includes a flexible rod working in conjunction with a 16 in. high-tensile steel chock and a ground fixed retaining plate. Our system secures vehicles at the wheel up to a distance of 15 ft. from the dock.

    The Powerchock™ 5 is a wheel restraint system for securing vehicles, equipped with an ergonomic arm to position the chock.

    The Powerchock™ 5 is the flagship system designed and manufactured by GMR Safety in North America. The articulated arm makes precise placement of the 19” high-tensile steel chock on the anchored retaining plate almost effortless and functions consistently up to 14 feet.

    It is equipped with 3 sensors (arm, wheel, & dock) that are linked to an audio-visual communication system.

    • Near-effortless operation with use of articulated arm
    • Chock aligned correctly by default when placed in front of the wheel, confirmed by integrated optical sensor
    • Assisted return to resting position confirmed by sensor

    • Container trucks
    • LCVS

    What sets it apart:

    • High strength steel double height wheel chock attached to an ergonomic articulating arm or cart.

    • The blocking plate has an 11-inch section for LCVs and another 16-inch section for heavy vehicles. A sensor system determines the type of vehicle and the portion of chock to be positioned.
