The NOVA Lock & Load™ is a hook-style vehicle restraint that secures the trailer's rear impact guard (RIG) to reduce the risk of premature departure and trailer movement during loading and unloading. Its spring-loaded housing lowers with truck contact and the carriage automatically adjusts with trailer float.  The Lock & Load™ has an enhanced design with a patent pending Triple Range Hook that outperforms competitor hook-style restraints.

Mounts to dock above ground level to stay clear of accumulated precipitation and debris. Protected from the elements with watertight connectors and zinc plating, which provides exceptional corrosion resistance.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Hook is upwardly biased and rotates to increase engagement if contacted by the RIG when trailer shifts during loading and unloading
• Roller slope extension eliminates gouging and marking on the dock approach surface
• Gear motor operates for a total of three seconds for the full cycle of restraining and releasing a vehicle
• Only uses electricity when engaging or disengaging the rotating hook
• Hook maintains engagement with the RIG, even if power is lost
• PLC-based Control Box provides maintenance diagnostics
• Control box includes key pad for override as standard
• LED lights are standard for energy efficiency and long life
• Includes a 5-year warranty

The NOVA  OmniLock™ is a rotating hook-style vehicle restraint featuring an innovative patent-pending design to release RIG Wedge. RIG Wedge occurs when a trailer is pushed forward during loading or unloading, applying excessive pressure to the restraint's hook from the trailer's Rear Impact Guard (RIG). As a result, the truck driver must reverse the trailer to release the restraint. The newly designed hook operating mechanism allows the restraint to overcome RIG Wedge by relieving pressure on the hook when it disengages from the trailer's rear impact guard, allowing the hook to rotate down. The OmniLock™ also utilizes a secondary engagement zone to securely restrain RIGs with plates, including Intermodal chassis.

The OmniLock™ has a vertical engagement range of 9 to 31-inches (220 to 787-millimeters) and mounts to the dock face above ground level to stay clear of accumulated precipitation and debris. Its elevated installation protects it from the elements, along with watertight connectors and zinc plating for added corrosion resistance.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Hook design enables the restraint to overcome “RIG Wedge" by relieving pressure on the hook from the RIG as it disengages

• Secondary engagement mode safely and effectively restrains RIGs with plates including Intermodal chassis

• Secures all standard RIG bars, including rectangular, pentagonal, 4-1/2″ reinforced RIG bars, and RIG bars with plates, including Intermodal chassis

• Hook is rotationally upward biased and will continuously secure the RIG when a trailer shifts while restrained, even if power is lost

• Hook extends when releasing to ensure proper disengagement from the docked trailer even when “RIG Wedge" occurs

• Automatically resets hook if the trailer is not properly restrained

• PLC-based control box provides maintenance diagnostics

• Roller slope extension eliminates gouging and marking on the dock approach surface

• Compatible with interlock and combination control boxes for integration with doors, gates, and levelers

• Standard bypass and override feature is password-protected for use by authorized personnel only

• LED Lights are standard for energy efficiency and long life

• Includes a 5-year structural warranty

The NOVA Pedestrian Gate is an easy-to-operate, OSHA-compliant solution designed to prevent falls at shipping and receiving dock doors and pits in busy material handling environments. Once the semi-truck is backed up to the dock door or recessed shipping pit, the gate can be raised, as the truck has eliminated the fall hazard.

The Pedestrian Gate features a compact design requiring minimal floor space, which is essential near shipping and receiving locations. Its cantilevered design opens upward, maximizing the limited workspace in these areas.

These gates can serve various purposes beyond just dock doors; they can be utilized for fall prevention around floor openings where large materials need to pass through, managing pedestrian access, and separating people from machinery. NOVA offers both Single and Split style Pedestrian Gates in sizes up to 14 feet wide.

The NOVA Vehicle Restraint Light Kit is a “Restraint Condition Awareness System" (R-CAS) which provides extra visibility around the dock door for the dock attendant.  More visible than standard control box communication lighting, this system uses multi-colored LEDs around the corners of the dock door to alert dock workers to the safety status at the dock position.  Compatible with most rotating hook restraints on the market.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• The standard unit utilizes 48″ of RED, GREEN and AMBER*  LEDs in the upper corners of the door to inform dock attendants, supervisors and truck drivers of the condition of the dock from a distance.  *AMBER use is based on OEM fault conditions.
• Fully programmable LED controller and power supply included in the standard kit.
• An extended vision (EV) version of the interior lights provide 50% more LEDs than the standard kit providing even greater visibility to the dock position.
• Optional exterior light wands are available to enhance the truck driver's view and condition awareness.  Designed to fit where traditional stop & go lights don't, these wands can be installed at eye-level with the truck's cab for better visibility.
• The exterior LED wands are also available to mount directly to NOVA Dock Seals and Shelters when used in tandem on a NOVA dock seal.  These 8′ or 4′ sections also act as guide lights to aid the truck driver to position truck.

The NOVA Door position light kit is a Door Condition Awareness System (D-CAS) which informs drivers of the state of a drive-through overhead door even when the driver is unable to see its position.  A 10′ colored LED Light strip is mounted to both the inside and outside of the door.  A driver pulling in or backing in is supplied with door travel information. 

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• LEDs are off (or solid red) when door is down, flashing red when in motion, and solid green when door is fully open.
• Reduces door and vehicle damage, lost product, and unnecessary costs when installed.
• Acts as a power loss indicator – LEDs flash RED if the operator loses power.
• When installed in firehouses and EMT stations, the Red LEDs preserve night vision and reduce the need for harsh white lights during evening hours.
• Compatible with most commercial garage door operators.
• Optional Blue Light (BL) feature informs awaiting vehicles if there is already a vehicle on the other side of the door; potentially reducing loading and unloading delays caused by the need to move because the bay already has a truck inside.
• LEDs are IP68, Waterproof, UV Protected and highly visible in the daylight.
