      The wheel locking systems from GMR  Safety 

      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.

      Equipped with an optical wheel sensor to confirm proper placement, the system is manually armed by the dock worker (optional door interface). Powerchock™ 3 is linked to both audio and visual communication systems.

      • Functions in minimal or narrow space
      • Easy to install
      • Intuitive use / no training required

      THE Powerchock™ 5 - Ergonomic locking system

      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
      • Sensors and exterior-alarm self-diagnostic system

      Powerchock™ Hybrid - Restraint system for all vehicles

      The Powerchock Hybrid secures all types of vehicles on the same platform:

      • Semi-trailers
      • Straight trucks
      • Container trucks
      • LCVS

      What sets it apart:

      • High strength steel double height wheel chock attached to an ergonomic articulating arm or cart.
      • Galvanized steel floor restraint plate made of 3 sections totaling 12 feet, attached to the landing area. Possibility of additional sections.
      • 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.

       

      The benefits of the GMR Safety exclusive 5-year waranty

      • The 5-year guarantee covers the chock and retaining plate during normal usage and also in case of early departure attempts.
      • Keep your personnel, merchandise and equipment safe.
      • Reliability reduces interruptions to your operation - maintaining efficiency.
      • Increases profitability and protects your investments – allows extended amortization.
      • Minimal down time – virtually maintenance free – no lubrication over lifetime, ever.
