Abstract
A restraining assembly for a vehicle restraint for restraining a rear impact guard (RIG) bar of a vehicle or trailer at a dock may include a hook. The hook may further include a locking arm at a first end thereof, a catch portion at a second end thereof, an axial orifice about which the hook rotates responsive to movement of the RIG bar in contact with the catch portion or the locking arm, and a cam surface disposed between the locking arm and the axial orifice. The hook may be rotatably mounted to a vertical slide assembly of the vehicle restraint that slidably engages the RIG bar to adjust to a height of the RIG bar against a bias applied to the vertical slide assembly. The restraining assembly may be rotated only responsive to movement of the RIG bar to transition between a receiving position for receiving or releasing the RIG bar and a locking position for retaining the RIG bar.
