Blue Giant manufacturers a range of vehicle restraints to reduce the hazards of unscheduled truck departure. These restraints range from the simplest, most economical model, the ML-10 Manulatch, to the top of the line electro-hydraulic TL-85 Truck restraint. Contact your local Blue Giant Representative for more information.


A pour-in Dock Leveler eliminates the need for pit forming. However, a pour-in has to be installed when the slab is poured, many months before the Dock Leveler is actually required. This means the Dock leveler is paid for before it is needed, and it is subject to potential pre-use damage. A pit installed Dock Leveler is installed into a previously constructed pit at the later stages of building construction. The best features of both styles can be obtained by using Blue Giant Pit Kits during installation. A Pit Kit is a set of pre-fabricated steel panels that are bolted together on site to yield a true square pit for less money than wood forms. For more information request Blue Giant bulletin "Dock Leveler Pit Kit".


If it is anticipated that dock use or load capacity will increase or vary in the future, certain features may be more economically viable to install initially:
- Heavier capacity units
- Longer Dock Leveler
- Hydraulic versus Mechanical operation
