Poweramp POWERHOOK SERIES - Manual (Page 10)

INTRODUCTION
When not in use, PowerHook stores in a pit, concealed
and out of the way, enabling dock workers to clear the
driveway approach of snow or debris.
The PowerHook 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
PowerHook truck restraint, the control panel will allow
for operation of both units in the same control panel.
Each PowerHook, Poweramp dock leveler 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 Poweramp Technical
Services.
Once again, thank you and congratulations on your
purchase of a Poweramp PowerHook truck restraint.
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 PowerHook is the original truck restraint 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 hook engages
the truck RIG bar.
The truck restraint is firmly anchored in the loading
dock pit for maximum holding power. The hook
remains protected behind the pit wall until activated.
The PowerHook restraint is designed to withstand a
pulling force in excess of 35,000 lbs.
Congratulations on your choice of a Poweramp PowerHook truck restraint. This manual covers the
PowerHook Truck restraint operating system.
Due to ongoing product improvement, some parts have changed, along with operation and trouble shooting
methods. This manual describes these changes. For further assistance, please contact:
