Product catalog summary
Feature Summary
The AR-9000 Automatic Vehicle Restraint is designed to enhance safety by preventing unscheduled trailer departure, creep, and tipover. It features a large rotating hook with a direct drive system, eliminating the need for clutches, chains, or brakes. The system is durable with zinc-plated components and offers easy-to-understand controls, communication lights, and signage. It automatically adjusts to trailer movement, maintaining constant contact with the rear impact guard, and includes a 5-year structural warranty.
Specifications
The IMPACT™ Series AR-9000 is a premium automatic unit that secures trucks at loading docks using a rotating hook. The housing is stored above ground to avoid snow, ice, and debris, and adjusts to various truck heights. It provides 32,000 pounds of restraining force and features a low-profile housing that lowers to 9 inches off the ground. The system includes a fault sensor and auto-reversing hook to prevent damage.
Operation
The system is activated by a control button, engaging the hook to secure the trailer. It monitors the hook's position, maintaining pressure, and sounds an alarm if the rear impact guard is not detected. An override button silences the alarm, and lights indicate operational modes. The barrier adjusts to trailer movement during loading and unloading, ensuring constant restraint.
Warranty
The AR-9000 comes with a one-year parts and labor warranty and a five-year structural warranty, subject to limitations on liability.
Installation
The restraint is factory-assembled, tested, and mounted to the dock face using concrete wedge anchors or welding. The total mounting force exceeds 100,000 pounds. Installation follows the instructions in the manual.
Communication
Safety equipment includes red and green lights, operating instructions, and an audible alarm for undetected rear impact guards. Communication is facilitated through inside and outside lights and signage.
Description
The housing is a welded assembly with 5/16" reinforced steel, protecting components from weather and debris. The rotating hook is made of 1 1/4" thick steel, and components are zinc-plated for durability. The control panel features a NEMA 12 rated enclosure with push-button controls and communication lights.
Optional Equipment
Options include integrated LOGI-SMART™ control systems, cantilever extension mounting bracket, cast-in wall mounting plate, LED lights, and a keyed override switch.
