GMR Safety, a global leader in wheel restraint systems and inventor of the POWER CHOCK, has launched its newest evolution, the POWER CHOCK Auto, an automatic version of the system equipped with high-quality optical sensors that can detect all types of vehicle wheels up to 21.5 feet from the loading dock wall.
“Loading dock accidents pose a major risk to warehouse operators and contribute to significant workplace injuries and inevitable high costs,” said Jay Jetté, founder and CEO of GMR Safety, at a press conference on the ProMat show floor. “Our vehicle restraint solution directly addresses these incidents. The fatal injury rate in the transportation and logistics industry is twice the average rate for all industries, and we think that it’s something no company should ever ignore.”
During PROMAT, visitors will have the opportunity to not only test the POWER CHOCK AUTO model, attendees can also check out these models in the Power Chock line:
1. POWER CHOCK 5: The flagship system features an ergonomic and articulated arm for effortless handling by drivers.
2. POWER CHOCK 3: An easy-to-handle system ideal for narrow docking areas and budget-minded partners.
3. POWER CHOCK Hybrid: A versatile system with two height options (16 inches and 11 inches), designed to secure a wide range of vehicles, from semitrailers to delivery vans at the same loading dock.
