Vehicle restraint having a plurality of blocking positions for restraining a vehicle relative to a loading dock

A vehicle restraint for a loading facility, the vehicle restraint comprising:

• a barricade member that is rotationally attached to a base, and wherein the barricade member is rotationally operable between a stored position, a plurality of blocking positions, and a verification position, the barricade member having a faceted portion that defines the plurality of blocking positions;
• a barricade motor that selectively activates to rotationally operate the barricade member between the stored position, the plurality of blocking positions, and the verification position;
• and
• a locking member that is operable between a locking position and a release position, wherein the locking member is selectively operable to the locking position to engage the faceted portion of the barricade member to define a respective blocking position of the plurality of blocking positions, wherein the barricade motor is selectively idle when the locking member is in the locking position and the barricade member is in the respective blocking position, and wherein the locking member selectively maintains the barricade member in the respective blocking position.

A vehicle restraint comprising:

• a barricade member that is rotationally operable relative to a base between a stored position, a plurality of blocking positions, and a verification position, the barricade member having a blocking surface that is configured to engage a vehicle and a faceted portion that defines the plurality of blocking positions;
• a barricade motor that selectively activates to rotationally operate the barricade member between the stored position, the plurality of blocking positions, and the verification position;
• and
• a locking member that is operable between a locking position and a release position to selectively engage a respective face of the faceted portion, the respective face corresponding to a respective blocking position of the plurality of blocking positions, wherein,
• the locking member is selectively operable to the locking position when the verification position of the barricade member identifies the presence of the vehicle within a parked position;
• the locking member is operated by a locking actuator that operates the locking member between the locking position and the release position;
• the barricade motor and the locking actuator are selectively idle when the locking member is in the locking position and the barricade member is in the respective blocking position;
• and
• the locking member selectively maintains the barricade member in the respective blocking position.
