INTRODUCTION

General Information

This manual provides current information on the
PowerHold vehicle restraint. Due to ongoing product
improvement, some parts may have changed, along
with operation and troubleshooting methods. This
manual describes these changes where applicable.
The PowerHold vehicle restraint is designed to seek,
find and maintain a tight, continuous hold on the RIG
(Rear Impact Guard) bar, effectively eliminating "trailer
creep". As an optional safety feature, the dock leveler
and vehicle restraint can be interlocked, preventing
operation of the dock leveler until the hold engages
the RIG (RIG bar).
The vehicle restraint is firmly anchored to the drive
way approach or the building wall for maximum
holding power. The PowerHold restraint is designed to
withstand a pulling force of 30,000 lbs.

The PowerHold vehicle restraint comes equipped
with an electrical control panel, which allows push
button operation of the vehicle restraint functions.
When combining a Poweramp Dock Leveler with a
PowerHold vehicle restraint, the control panel will
allow for operation of both units in the same control
panel.
Each PowerHold vehicle restraint unit and control
panel has been factory pre-wired and tested to ensure
satisfactory operation.
To illustrate which connections are to be made in the
field at installation, electrical drawings are included
with each order or by contacting Systems, LLC
Technical Services.
Call Systems, LLC to discuss available voltages,
phases and options to meet your specific needs.
