Abstract
A vehicle restraint mountable against a dock face uses a linearly extensible actuator member to move a flat plate restraining device into a vehicle release or restraint position. The plate carries a bracket having a cam profile which via a connection or latch arm converts the linear movement of the drive member into rotational movement of the restraining plate. In the vehicle restraining position all loading on the restraining device is transmitted to the frame without any force component on the actuator.
