K-AUTOBLOCK®

Product catalog summary
Overview: The K-AUTOBLOCK is an automatic truck blockage system designed to enhance safety during transshipment operations by preventing accidents. It allows operators to secure and release vehicles at the dock using a control cabinet with push buttons, supported by a signalization system for both drivers and operators.
Specifications: The system operates with a 380 V 3-phased power supply and includes a hydraulic motor, pump, and oil specifications. It features dimensions of 4500 x 710 mm and weighs 700 kg. The blockage height is 390 mm.
Operation and Use: The K-AUTOBLOCK is divided into hydraulic, electromechanical, and mechanical parts, each undergoing supervisory measures. It includes sensors for door and dock positions, signalization lights, and a programmable automation system with alarm display. Instructions for drivers and operators are clearly defined with color-coded lights indicating when maneuvering is allowed or prohibited.
Compliance and Standards: The system complies with several standards, including the 2006/42/CE machinery directive, EN 60 204-1 for electrical equipment, and EN 282 for hydraulic security. It adheres to the ED 6059 recommendation for vehicle maintenance at docks and is certified under various quality management and production control standards.
Safety Features: The system ensures that human intervention in dangerous zones is minimized, trucks are immobilized during loading/unloading, and drivers cannot release the truck from the blockage system. It includes interlocking mechanisms linked to door and dock operations to prevent accidents.
Innovation and Recognition: The K-AUTOBLOCK received an innovation award at the Preventica safety/security fair in 2015, highlighting its compliance with safety recommendations and machinery regulations.

ADVANTAGES: • The K-AUTOBLOCK automatically releases the vehicle, even if the wheel is maintaining pressure on the wheel-stop cylinder. • If, during transshipment, the vehicles brakes are out of service (technical problem or brakes released), once the operator chooses to release the truck, the K-AUTOBLOCK automatically detects the vehicles progress and will not let it go (until it is correctly braked). • The drivers do not require any instructions for the docking procedure. HOW IT WORKS: Instructions for the driver: - Green light: the driver is free to manoeuver. - Red light: the vehicle is braked, all manoeuver is forbidden for the driver. Instructions for the operator: Once the truck is parked at dock: - Red light: the door and the dock cannot be maneuvered. The operator can block the truck (“BLOCKAGE” button). - Green light: the blockage is complete. The door and the dock can be maneuvered. The transshipment may begin. K-AUTOBLOCK AUTOMATIC TRUCK BLOCKAGE SYSTEM The K-AUTOBLOCK is an automatic truck blockage system. It was conceived to reinforce people's safety by limiting risks of accidents that generally occur during transshipment operations. The K-AUTOBLOCK allows the operator to block the vehicle at dock before the transshipment begins, and to release the vehicle once the transshipment is complete by simply pressing push buttons on the control cabinet. A signalization system by two-tone lights (for the driver) and by LED lights (for the operator) enables a simplified usage for each participant. A TIDY AND CONTROLLED PRODUCTION Once the transshipment is complete: - The operator closes the door and puts the dock back into resting position. - The operator releases the truck (“RELEASE” button): the green LED light turns red. - The truck may leave. The K-AUTOBLOCK is divided in three parts: hydraulic, electromechanical and mechanical. Each part goes through individual supervisory measures. For example: the electromechanical part is controlled by specialized software with a control screen which checks each cycle. At the end of the assembly process, each K-AUTOBLOCK is controlled and tested, then stored in transport racks.
