Hook-style restraints that lock the trailer to the dock during loading
Interlocked key and signal systems that control the whole dock sequence
Chock-style restraint for trailers that hook-style units can't engage
A trailer that moves while a forklift is inside it is the accident nobody plans for. Timbers-Kovar supplies and services Serco® and Kelley® truck restraints throughout Cleveland, Akron, and Canton, sized to the trailers actually backing into your dock rather than a catalog average. From our Mentor headquarters, our factory-trained employee-owners handle installation, annual service, and emergency repair — because a restraint that has been out of service for three weeks is not protecting anyone. Available 24/7 across Northeast Ohio.
Restraint selection depends on what backs into your dock. Hook-style restraints handle most standard RIGs; wheel restraints cover the trailers they can’t engage; interlocked safety systems tie the restraint, the light, and the door into one sequence a driver can’t skip. Timbers-Kovar walks Western Pennsylvania facilities through that decision and installs the result, serving the Greater Pittsburgh metro, Cranberry, and Washington, PA from Leetsdale. Our fleet carries OEM parts, so a restraint fault gets fixed rather than tagged out.
