central position in front of the dock. The rearmost wheel is then automatically restrained at the touch of a button. Featuring a wheel block that is impressively strong and
available in different heights, the Combilok is suitable for lorries of almost every type and size. There are also few restrictions when it comes to the installation process, as the entire system is installed above ground. Importantly, there are no obstacles to a lorry’s safe docking and there is no contact with moving vehicles. The Combilok incorporates technically-advanced electro
hydraulic technology and few moving parts. The wheel block is operated via a microprocessor and is controlled using a button on the control panel located inside the building. An integral sensor in the wheel block accurately determines the position of the rearmost wheel, whereupon the wheel block is automatically extended and the vehicle is restrained. The restraint process is completed in approximately 30 seconds regardless of the size and position of the wheel. For optimum safety, intelligent operating software ensures
that, before the Combilok begins to move, acoustic and optical signals are activated for three seconds and continue whilst positioning. Also, the restraining block is fitted with an emergency stop button which can be used to immediately cease all movement. Furthermore, a high visibility LED traffic light system provides clear visual communication to ensure that the driver knows immediately when his vehicles is properly positioned and when it is safe for him to drive away following loading/unloading. “We’ve designed the Combilok to offer the highest
standards of safety, performance and reliability,” says Andy Georgiou, general manager of Stertil Dock Products. “This has been recognised by a growing number of leading high street names and logistics companies. In fact, the UK’s most prominent online retail specialist purchased its first Combilok vehicle restraint system in 2013. Unsurprisingly, it was an instant success and the company now has almost 1000 Combiloks working around the clock to provide safety and peace of mind to drivers and warehouse staff alike.”
