DockStar Dual Barrier Vehicle Restraint™


DockStar’s Dual Barrier Restraint elevates loading dock safety by significantly enhancing traditional restraint technology. Offering over twice the mounting and pullout force of standard systems, its dual barrier design provides up to 18 times the restraining area, minimizing damage to the Rear Impact Guard (RIG). Adjustable, interchangeable barrier hooks accommodate diverse RIGs and bumpers, limiting the need for costly brackets. A proprietary stabilizing system maintains constant contact during loading, while the dual track design disperses force, protecting the restraint, building, and trailer, ultimately prioritizing personnel safety.

The Dual Barrier Restraint Advantages

  • Utilizes and improves upon traditional, proven technologies to protect your people at the loading dock.
  • Over 2x the mounting force of traditional restraints.
  • Over 2x the pullout force of traditional restraints.
  • Dual barrier provides up to 18x the restraining area of traditional restraints.
  • Dual barrier system helps to eliminate damage to the RIG created by traditional vehicle restraints.
  • Adjustable barriers can be positioned “on-the-fly” to accommodate the widest range of RIG’s in the industry.
  • Interchangeable barrier hooks provide coverage for the widest range RIG’s and bumpers in the industry and do not require costly cantilever brackets for bumpers up to 8″.
  • Custom barrier designs are available to help secure captive fleets or troublesome snowflake RIG’s.
  • The proprietary stabilizing system helps to ensure constant contact with RIG during loading and unloading.
  • Dual track design increases pull out resistance, while dispersing pull out force across the building foundation wall and across a wide plane on the RIG, helping to protect the restraint, the building and trailer, while ultimately working to help save people’s lives.

    • Customizable & Interchangeable Barrier Arms for Any Dock Setup

    No two loading docks operate the same way—and neither do the trailers that pull into them. That’s why the DockStar Dual Barrier Restraint is engineered with customizable and interchangeable barrier arm lengths, allowing you to tailor each hook to your facility’s exact conditions.

    Trailers may back in closer or farther from the dock face depending on factors such as:

    • Dock bumper projection (standard, extended, laminated, or steel-faced)
    • Driveway slope or recessed apron conditions
    • ICC bar height, setback, or trailer variations across fleets
    • Spotting accuracy or yard-jockey approach angle

    Because these variables differ from facility to facility, a fixed-length restraint often fails to provide consistent ICC engagement. DockStar solves this with a modular hook design—available in multiple lengths—ensuring reliable capture whether trailers stop tight to the dock or leave a larger gap.

    Even better: once you have a DockStar Dual Barrier System installed, you can easily swap in different-sized hooks at any time. This allows you to:

    ✔ Adjust to new trailer types
    ✔ Adapt to changes in dock bumper depth
    ✔ Standardize engagement across multiple bays
    ✔ Upgrade only the hook—not the entire restraint

    With DockStar, your restraint grows with your operation, giving you long-term flexibility without full-system replacements.
