Introducing the Talon™ trailer restraint, a cutting-edge innovation in loading dock safety brought to you by 4Front Engineered Solutions. This new approach to securing docked trucks offers a safer and more efficient way of loading and unloading trailers. The Talon trailer restraint is available under the Kelley and Serco brands, setting a new standard for next-generation dock safety equipment.
With pending regulations from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) impacting the design of trailer rear impact guard (RIG) bars, many existing trailer restraints are becoming outdated or ineffective. The Talon trailer restraint addresses these changes by providing true four-sided RIG bar capture, offering a much more secure solution compared to traditional two or three-sided restraints. Its innovative design ensures that the RIG bar remains securely in place, preventing any accidents during loading and unloading.
Unlike other trailer restraints on the market, the Talon is powered by a unique mechanism that does not require hydraulics or a motor, resulting in lower maintenance costs and overall ownership expenses. By making complete contact with all five surfaces of the pentagonal RIG bar, similar to the talons of a bird of prey, the Talon trailer restraint eliminates restraint release failure and provides a safe and stable loading environment.
The Talon trailer restraint also features a three-position slide lock that limits trailer movement, eliminating any excess play between the restraint and RIG bar. External LED indicators further enhance safety by informing the driver whether the restraint is engaged or disengaged, allowing for a smooth and secure trailer departure.
