Wheel Restraints in Bristol
Wheel Restraints – Keeping Bristol’s Loading Bays Safe
Bristol’s busy industrial sector, from Avonmouth docks to the city’s bustling distribution hubs, relies on efficient and safe loading bay operations. A shifting trailer can cause serious accidents, leading to stock damage, injuries, or even total bay shutdowns. That’s why Industrial Docking provides expert installation, servicing, and repairs for wheel restraints-ensuring your loading bays stay safe, compliant, and fully operational.
Why Wheel Restraints Are Essential
Every loading bay faces the same challenge: keeping trailers locked in place while goods are moved in and out. Without proper restraints, vehicles can creep forward, rock unexpectedly, or even roll away-putting workers and equipment at serious risk.
We supply and service:
Manual Wheel Chocks – A simple, cost-effective way to secure parked trailers.
Mechanical Restraints – Lock onto the trailer’s RIG bar, preventing premature movement.
Hydraulic Wheel Restraints – High-security systems designed for busy industrial environments.
Bristol’s fast-moving logistics sector can’t afford preventable delays-our team ensures your equipment meets safety regulations and keeps your operations running smoothly.
Spot the Signs: When to Service Your Wheel Restraints
Ignoring minor faults can lead to major failures. Keep an eye out for:
Restraints not locking securely – A mechanism that struggles to hold a trailer in place needs immediate attention.
Visible rust or corrosion – Bristol’s unpredictable weather can accelerate wear, especially on exposed metal components.
Slow or jerky hydraulic response – A delay in securing the trailer could mean a hydraulic issue.
Unusual noises or stiffness – Grinding or squeaking signals internal wear that could lead to sudden failure.
Routine maintenance helps avoid costly breakdowns-our planned servicing identifies and fixes problems before they halt your workflow.
