Vehicle Restraint Systems
Improve safety at the loading dock. Many forklift accidents occur every year that are caused by a truck prematurely departing from the dock or creeping away due to loading and unloading momentum. Installing a Vehicle Restraint from Sylvester's can help prevent these accidents by securing a semi-trailer to the dock and providing better communication between the truck driver and dock attendant. If your facility is servicing trailers with varying rear impact guard designs, read this LODEM article and talk to Sylvester's about the best restraint options for you.
From simple Wheel Chocks to Fully Integrated Truck Restraints, Sylvester's has it all!
