Designed by Poweramp to be a marvel of simplicity
and efficiency, your truck restraint, when properly
installed, will provide many years of trouble-free
performance with an absolute minimum of
maintenance. Its revolutionary hydraulic system
efficiently controls and operates every function. To
obtain maximum performance and longest possible
use, a simple program of preventive maintenance is
recommended and is outlined in this manual.
The PowerHold truck 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 truck restraint can be interlocked,
preventing operation of the dock leveler until the hold
engages the truck RIG bar.
The Truck 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 truck restraint comes equipped with
an electrical control panel, which allows push button
operation of the truck restraint functions.
When combining a Poweramp Dock Leveler with a
PowerHold truck restraint, the control panel will allow
for operation of both units in the same control panel.
Each PowerHold, Poweramp Dock Leveler and
control panel has been factory prewired 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 Poweramp Technical
Services.
Once again, thank you and congratulations on your
purchase of a Poweramp PowerHold truck restraint.
Congratulations on your choice of a Poweramp PowerHold truck restraint. This manual covers the
PowerHold Truck restraint operating system.
