Stop Trucks patented automatic truck immobilisation system

PDF documentation

Stop Trucks is a patented system wedging system for trucks. It is renowned for its reliability and robustness, and is already ensuring the safety of loading and unloading operations at numerous sites in Europe in the industrial, agri-food and logistics sectors.

Stop Trucks make loading docks safer by ensuring that the truck is perfectly immobilised on the dock. Once the truck has been secured, truck blocked, We avoid any untimely departures during transhipment operations, thereby greatly reducing the risk of accidents and the risk of people or handling equipment falling from docks. The Stop Trucks flat locking arm acts on the truck's wheel axle, preventing the vehicle from moving forward, intentionally or otherwise.

Detection is automatic: the arm rises just in front of the wheel and comes to rest on the tyre with a slight backward movement. The locking height varies automatically according to wheel diameter to ensure optimum locking and wedging of the truck while preserving the mudguard.

Optimal locking: locking height proportional to wheel diameter

Automatic wheel detection: the arm is raised without making contact with the tyre. Once the arm has been deployed, the carriage moves back slightly to press against the tyre. The lorry's chock is then in place, the trailer is blocked and can no longer leave the dock accidentally.

External signage with bicolor light and audible alarm

Road sign with pictograms

Left and right wheel guides

Options:

Control camera + LCD screen

Total immersion protection for flood-prone areas, ensuring that Stop Trucks® are not damaged by immersion.

The benefits of Stop Trucks:

At rest, the access to the dock is totally free, no obstacles to docking. The truck can manoeuvre freely and repeat its manoeuvres.

Adapts to all road surfaces. Unaffected by obstacles (broken pallets), snow or rising water up to 250 mm (full immersion optional).

When the blocking arm is in front of the wheel, the lorry is blocked at the dock and cannot move forwards or backwards. This avoids the risk of accidents or damage to the vehicle.

The Stop Trucks blocks all types of trucks except those with full careened.

Reduced civil engineering: just two concrete blocks (one at the front and one at the rear) are all you need to secure the frame of the Stop Trucks.

Stop Trucks - Hydraulic extensions combination with widening for Stop Trucks

Request a quote

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 allows the rear of the truck to be raised or lowered, so that the height and inclination of the load floor can be adjusted as required..

Installation requires no civil engineering. They are delivered ready to install, with an electrical box incorporating the Up/down controls.

Thanks to the hydraulic truck leveler, there is no risk of the truck hitting the cladding if the slope towards the dock is too steep. By reversing the slope, the extensions also prevent rainwater from running off the roof of the truck inside the warehouse.

Metal control box, IP55 protection:

Power supply 380 V/Tri 50Hz + Earth

Power 1.5 Kw - 24 V control

2 pushbuttons for "Up" and "Down"

Emergency stop with reset button

Isolating switch

Pilot-operated valve system for lowering

Safety lock in the event of hose rupture

Hydraulic truck leveler:

Correct the natural inclination of semi-trailers which, often added to the slope of the dock, creates a sloping surface inside the trailer that is very dangerous for handlers and goods.

Reduced risk of hitting the cladding: if the gradient is too steep, the rear of the truck trailer could hit the cladding.

Prevent rainwater from running off the roof of the truck inside the warehouse by reversing the slope, thereby reducing the risk of slipping and falling.

Readjustment of the flatness of the truck floor during transhipment, depending on any sagging of the shock absorbers.
