Abstract
A truck restraint has a carriage movable in a vertical direction along a track between a first lowered position and a second operative position. A fluid actuator moves the carriage along the truck between the first and second positions. The actuator is operable, with the hook in the first position, to cause relative rotation between the hook and the track so that the hook is moved from a downwardly inclined position to a generally horizontal position, prior to movement from the first position.
