Loading dock accidents can have serious consequences for any company - both in physical injuries and financial obligations. Yet, in many cases, they can be prevented with proper safeguards. Common accidents include:
  • Forklifts driving off the dock because a vehicle leaves before loading or unloading is completed.
  • Vehicles creeping away from the dock as forklifts continually move in and out during loading or unloading, creating a dangerous gap between the vehicle and the dock.
  • Collapse of trailer landing gear due to constant rocking motion of forklifts moving in and out during loading.
Kelley offers a full range of safety products designed to prevent these types of costly accidents.

Kelley Star® Vehicle Restraints - Superior Performance To Satisfy OSHA And Your Bottom Line.
When it comes to restraining vehicles and vehicles during loading and unloading, the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) is very clear: All vehicles must be restrained during loading and unloading (Requirement 29 CFR 1910.178 (k) (1))

The responsibility clearly rests with the employer.

Description N/A Our base model, the manually operated STAR 1, offers excellent performance and value and is an economical alternative to the STAR 2. N/A The Star2 is an exceptional value offering manual operation plus Kelley’s exclusive sensor bar and the industry’s most effective communication system:
  • Exclusive sensor bar.
  • Interior & exterior LED red/green communication lights.
  • Simple, manual, non-impact operation.
  • 30,000 lbs. of restraining force.
  • Works with nearly all styles of rear impact guards and types of dock levelers.
  • Low profile - Stores at 9.5" off grade.
  • Requires low maintenance.
  • Low cost of ownership.
 		N/A The Star 4 vehicle restraint offers a higher level of automation and convenience. The restraining arm is raised and lowered automatically at the touch of a button by a linear actuator drive system. The programmable logic controller (PLC) offers more flexibility to meet the evolving needs of your facility.
The Kelley STAR 4 vehicle restraint is designed to engage the rear impact guard of a vehicle and hold the vehicle at the loading dock during the loading and unloading process.
  • Push-button control panel
  • Dependable linear actuator operation
  • Programmable logic controller (PLC)
  • Non-impact design & operation
  • Automatic interior/exterior 24V LED light communication system
  • Exclusive sensor bar indicates positive engagement with rear impact guard
  • Alarm provides audible alert if sensor bar/rear impact guard contact is not made.
  • 30,000 lbs. of restraining force.
  • Requires low maintenance.
  • Low cost of ownership.
  • Low Profile - Stores 9.5" Off Grade
  • Horizontal hooking range 0 - 10" from face of 4" bumper
  • Captures & complies with NHTSA regulation rear impact guards
 		N/A A Unique, Non-Impact, Recessed Design. The Kelley Hidden Hook is a recessed, pit-mounted vehicle restraint that provides a clean, unobstructed dock area when stored and effectively controls vehicle movement by grabbing and holding the rear impact guard throughout the loading and unloading process.
