Abstract
A vehicle restraint having a fixed member such as a frame mounted to a dock face and a hook movable relative to the fixed member for engaging a portion of a vehicle and restraining movement of the vehicle away from the dock. A non-contact sensor is employed to determine engagement of the hook with a portion of the vehicle. The sensor is positioned to provide an effective magnetic field in the zone of contact so that engagement with an ICC bar on the vehicle can be ascertained.
