What is a Vehicle Restraint?
FQA: What is a Vehicle Restraint Vehicle restraints, or trailer restraints, are devices that latch onto trailers to keep them from separating from the dock during loading/unloading. They were first introduced by Rite-Hite in 1980 as a better solution than wheel chocks, which were known to be ineffective. Restraints have been recognized by OSHA since 1981 as an acceptable alternative to wheel chocks.
