Fixed jacks are necessary to support a trailer during unloading/loading when the trailer is not coupled to a tractor unit. If the dock isn t equipped with a dock loading mechanism, then (4) wheel blocks/chocks will be tightly placed around the tires to prevent movement in either direction. Every attempt possible should be made to use a dock with a mechanical restraint device. Place jack stands under trailers (e.g., make contact with the underside of the trailer) but don t crank the jack up tight as this will only complicate the process. Next remove or release the dock lock, wheel chocks and the jack stand once loading/unloading activities are complete. Throughout the Wyandotte site wheel chocks are required whenever a mechanical restraint device is in bypass mode. 4.1.9.5 Glad Hand Locks: For dropped loads/unloads Glad Hand Locks are required to be used to secure and prevent unwanted/inadvertent trailer movement. 4.1.9.6 When loading/unloading intermodal containers at least two restraint methods will be required to secure the chassis, one of which must include the mandatory use of wheel chocks. 4.1.9.7.
