Stop Trucks, the hydraulic automatic wedging system for trucks, recognized for its reliability and its robustness is already in place on many sites in the industry, transport and services.

Stop Trucks automatic wheel blocking

Optimal blocking : locking height proportional to the diameter of the wheel
Automatic detection of the wheel : the blocking arm rises contactless against the tire. Once the arm deployed the mobile carriage begins to move back in front of the wheel then sticks to it. The blocking arm is in contact with the wheel, now the trailer is blocked and can not accidentally leave the dock.
Emergency stop foot-guard in case of obstruction of the course of the carriage.

The Stop Trucks® enables to secure loading docks ensuring perfect immobilization of the truck to the dock. When the truck is locked, unintentional departure of the truck is avoided during transhipment operations and then it reduces strongly the risk of accidents, particularly the dock falls of persons or handling equipments.
The blocking arm of Stop Trucks acts at the axle of the truck wheel, preventing every movement of the vehicle, voluntary or not to ensure the safety of loading and unloading operations.

The detection is automatic : the blocking arm goes up just in front of the wheel and goes on the tire with a slight backward movement. The locking height changes automatically according to the diameter of the wheel to ensure an optimal lockingof the truck while preserving mudguard..

Easy and quick to install by our teams, The Stop Trucks requires a very small civil engineering and power supply 400 ou 230V TRI, usually already present in the dock for the leveler.

The advantages of the Stop Trucks :

At rest, the access to the dock is totally free. No obstacle prevents the accosting of trucks. They can be freely set up.
There is no element on the ground: Stop Trucks® adapts itself to all the roadways ( negative or positive slope). In case of opposite slope, please send us plans for feasibility study.
It is not restricted (broken pallets) nor snow nor rising water up to 180 mm (complete immersion is optional).
Once the truck accosted, the implementation of the hold is according to the configurations, commanded either by the inside by the operator of the dock, or from the outside by the driver.
When the arm of blocking is set, the truck is immobilized. So by avoiding any uncontrolled movement, we prevent every risk of accident or damage of the vehicle. Stop Trucks® blocks all the types of known trucks (Except those completely careened).
The civil engineering is reduced, Only two blocks in concrete (one in front and one behind) are enough for a solid fixation of the frame.


	Stop Trucks® and hydraulic truck levelers combination

The Stop Trucks® and hydraulic truck leveler combination allows to assure 3 important functions : function of wheel-guide / Correction of the flatness function / Safety function : Perfect immobilization of the vehicle during the operations of transshipment
The hydraulic truck leveler allow to lift or to lower the back of trucks, Thus to adjust at will the height and the slope of the floor of load. Their implementation does not require civil engineering. Liveries ready for the installation, with electric control box integrating the commands «levying-descent. Thanks to the Truck Leveler, there is no risk for the truck to damage the door of the dock, in case of stressed slope. It also allows to avoid the flow of the rainwater inside the warehouse by streaming on the roof of the truck, by inverting the slope.

Hydraulic truck leveler :

Supply : 380 V/Tri 50Hz + Earth
Power supply : 1,5 Kw
Control box : 1 push button type "Dead man" , up - down
24V control voltage
Emergency stop in all positions with reset button
Lockable disconnect switch
