Nova Lock and load Vehicle Restraint

Designed to enhance safety and minimize risk during loading and unloading operations, NOVA’s Lock & Load™ is a hook-style vehicle restraint that securely anchors the trailer’s rear impact guard (RIG) to the dock. With its spring-loaded housing that lowers upon truck contact and a carriage that automatically adjusts to accommodate trailer float, the Lock & Load™ ensures a seamless and secure connection.

Setting itself apart from competitors, the Lock & Load™ boasts an enhanced design featuring a patented Triple Range Hook, outperforming conventional hook-style restraints in terms of performance and reliability. Offering an impressive engagement range of 9 to 31 inches, this innovative restraint mounts above ground level on the dock face, effectively avoiding accumulated precipitation and debris.

Engineered for longevity, the Lock & Load™ incorporates an elevated installation that shields it from harsh elements, while watertight connectors and zinc plating provide superior corrosion resistance, ensuring reliable operation even in the most demanding environments.
