VBR-100 Wall Mounted Restraint

Rite-Hite’s VBR-100 Vertical Barrier Restraint is designed to secure a trailer to the loading dock by engaging the rear-impact guard (RIG) with a solid, wall-mounted steel barrier. Ideal for live loading, the Dok-Lok’s continuous upward force maintains safe engagement as the trailer bed height fluctuates during loading while mechanical spring loaded structural housing helps maintain constant contact with the float of the RIG. The manually-operated model is available with Automatic-Light Package (ALP) option.

Designed & Installed for Productivity

• Automatic Positioning with Easy Manual Operation - Spring-loaded structural steel housing automatically positions when VBR-100 is contacted by backing truck. Operator ergonomically activates barrier with a simple control rod.


• Wide Engagement Range - Engagement range extends from 12" to 30" above ground.


• Exclusive Barrier Design - 4.25” high barrier with reverse taper design provides the highest and widest coverage on RIGs.


• Integrity of Installation - Completed dock survey required for each dock position to help ensure safe and proper application of all Dok-Loks. Critical to the safety of material handlers and equipment utilizing the equipment, the surveys are reviewed by expert Applications team if outside of standard dock configuration.


• Pull-Out Force Benchmarks - Rite-Hite was the first loading dock equipment manufacturer to establish pull-out force benchmarks based on years of research and development. Followed today by many other manufacturers, VBR-100 is installed with mounting force in excess of 100,000 lbs. and 32,000 lbs. of pull-out force, doubling what tractors can achieve when in first gear.


• Withstand Harsh Loading Dock Environment - Zinc-plated for all weather durability and mounted above the ground away from dirt, debris, snow, ice, and standing water.

• Communication and Control - Dok-Lok® Style Light Communication and Auto-Light Package (ALP) options communicate via interior lights when trailer is properly engaged, thus safe for material handlers to enter. Without any Rite-Vu™ Hazard Recognition and Control options, toggle-style Automatic Light Package cannot facilitate future equipment integration.


• Help Prevent Trailer Separation Accidents - VBR-100 helps to prevent early departure and trailer creep during live or dropped loading. For dropped trailers, a trailer stand can assist in helping prevent landing gear collapse and trailer upending.


• Certified to meet and exceed ANSI MH30.3 performance testing standards.

Rite-Hite Communication and Control allows facilities to:

• Integrate additional/future equipment and interlocked sequence of operations with Dok-Lok® Style Light Communication System.
• Incorporate line of sight light communication system status with Corner-Vu™ and Leveler-Vu™.
• Extend Blue Light Policy to help prevent 80,000 annual forklift-pedestrian accidents by extending reaction time with Pedestrian-Vu™.
• Help prevent 2nd leading cause of backover fatalities in the United States with Approach-Vu™, which utilizes a light and horn system to present a clear visual and audible warning to pedestrians in the drive approach when a backing vehicle is detected.
• Verify Dok-Lok engagement and trailer stand presence via outside camera and inside monitor with Lok-Vu™, reducing the amount of processes on the dangerous drive approach.
• Integrate multiple loading dock control components at each dock position for a total dock safety system with Dok-Commander® Combined Controls.

All components are available as standalone or incorporated with Dok-Lok Style Light Communication System. The Dok-Lok Style Light Communication System offers more flexibility, facilitating the greatest long-term yield per dock position. The system allows facilities to address their most urgent safety needs first but reserving the opportunity to integrate vehicle restraints and other safety solutions at a fraction of the cost compared to standalone equipment purchases.
