Hydraulic Restraints

StrongArm™ RVR303
The StrongArm™ SVR303 delivers advanced functionality and security to loading dock operations. A high-visibility barrier-style restraint arm that uses passive engagement keep an ICC bar secured, resulting in less wear and tear and a lower lifetime cost of ownership.
	ANSI MH30.3 tested and approved, the StrongArm™ SVR303 is a low-profile, non-impact design with a rotating arm that seeks a trailer's ICC bar via a patented, switchless technology. Once engaged, it uses 35,000 lb (15,909 kg) of restraining force to secure the truck to the dock. Dual-acting hydraulic cylinders prevent lock-up and release problems. The Intelligent Positioning System (IPS) constantly communicates the location of the restraint arm via a network that enables the integrated lights communication system to accurately display safety conditions at the loading dock.

StrongArm™ TL85
The restraining technology of the StrongArm™ TL85 centers around a non-impact "swing-up" arm design to confine a vehicle's rear impact guard or ICC bar. Passive engagement style reduces wear and tear and substantially lowers the lifetime cost of ownership.
	The Blue Giant StrongArm™ TL85 hydraulic vehicle restraint keeps dock operations safe and secure during loading and unloading. Trucks and trailers are held firmly in place by a high-visibility barrier-style restraint arm, and a restraining force of 32,000 lb (14,545 kg) prevents accidental separation from the loading dock during the cargo handling process. The TL85 may be left engaged overnight to deter trailer theft.

More Information

Non-Impact Operation  ICC bars are secured via passive engagement, creating less wear and tear on the restraint components and consequently lowering maintenance requirements Internal automatic pressure switch maintains the arm in the locked position while in operation Compatible with air-ride suspension systems VersaLock™ securing technology allows the restraint arm to lock at any angle between 45 and 90 degrees Perfect for applications that involve a variety of truck configurations, including those with bent or damaged ICC bars Services trucks with ICC bars from 12" to 26" (305 mm to 660 mm) above ground Horizontal restraining range is up to 12" (305 mm) beyond the face of the dock Should an obstacle prevent the restraint arm from properly parking, the arm will dislodge it

Versatile Installation  The TL85 comes standard with a remote, wall-mounted powerpack, but is also available with a self-contained powerpack, to suit site conditions May be wall or ground-mounted

Electric Restraints

StrongArm™ HVR303
The StrongArm™ HVR303 has a hook-style arm that uses electronic compensation float to secure all trailers, even those with air-ride suspension systems It can be interlocked with Blue Giant air-powered dock levelers to build a 'green' loading dock solution.
	The wall-mounted Blue Giant StrongArm™ HVR303 electric vehicle restraint secures a trailer to the loading dock via an electro-mechanical hook design. Easy to install and eco-friendly, the HVR303 combines advanced engineering, positive holding ability, and sophisticated touch controls to make your loading dock safer than ever before.

More Information

Instant Compensation Float  With a vertical restraining range of 9" (227 mm) to 25" (635 mm) and instant float of 16" (406 mm), the HVR303 services a wide variety of trailers, including those with bent or damaged ICC bars. Ability to adjust automatically to trailer motion makes it compatible with air-ride suspension systems, enabling solid engagement and minimizing the risk of separation and worker injury.

Green Power  The StrongArm™ HVR303 is an environmentally sustainable alternative to oil-powered hydraulics. It can be interlocked with Blue Giant air-powered dock levelers to build a 'green' loading dock solution, allowing builders and developers to qualify for government incentives as well as project the image of an environmentally responsible business.

Strength You Can Depend On  With a restraining force of 32,000 lb (14,545 kg), the StrongArm™ HVR303 helps prevent the dangers associated with unexpected horizontal or vertical trailer movement. Secure gripping and holding capability enables a smooth and fortified bridge between the loading dock and the trailer, keeping cargo, equipment, and forklift operators safer during loading and unloading. Designed to comply with ANSI MH30.3.

Intelligent Touch Controls  The Blue Genius™ Gold Series II Touch Control Panel features include an LCD menu screen, function buttons and a flat surface keypad with unique touch sensors Interior and exterior LED lights keep drivers and warehouse personnel advised of safety conditions Audible alarm built into the control panel alerts the dock attendant to potentially unsafe conditions, such as broken or missing ICC bars Audible touch buttons and keypad provide instant sound feedback to user input

Mechanical Restraints

StrongArm™ ML10
Simplicity of design, heavy-duty construction materials and minimal maintenance / lubrication requirements reflect on long-term low cost of operation.
	The manually operated StrongArm™ ML10 is engaged and released by a single detachable control rod. Because no bending or lifting is required, the risk of employee strain or injury is significantly reduced.

More Information

Non-Impact Operation  Passive engagement style results in less wear and tear and lowers maintenance requirements With a vertical restraining range of 11" to 26" (279 mm to 660 mm) above ground and horizontal reach of 13" (330 mm), the ML10 is compatible with virtually all modern trucks and trailers, even those with air-ride suspension systems

Holds Strong  30,000 lb (13,636 kg) of restraining force prevents premature truck departure during loading and unloading The unit can be left in the locked position overnight to discourage trailer theft

No Power Necessary  Certain applications, such as chemical handling facilities or grain storage locations, involve explosive substances and require limited interaction with electrical devices:the ML10 is a safe and reliable restraining device for these situations because of its entirely mechanical operation.

The Next Level  The ML10 system can be upgraded to include a manual or automatic lights communication package for added safety at the loading dock The TLC24-M has interior and exterior LED signal lights (red / green) that are manually controlled to communicate safety conditions to both dock workers and truck drivers The advanced TLC24-A has all the benefits of the TLC24-M but also detects the position of the restraint via a sensor, allowing the lights to automatically change according to the relevant safety condition

Recommended Applications  Explosive substances (fertilizer storage, sawmills) Box builds Non-powered locations

Available Upgrades  Manual or automatic lights communication package

Available Options  Extension plates Zinc finish for extension plates
