Description

Alcatraz door locks are often used to safeguard coupling and uncoupling of loading arms, hoses and stairs on discharge and loading stations.

Alcatraz locks for loading arms, hoses and stairs, whether they are operated manually, pneumatically or hydraulically are mostly used in combination with interlocking of the trains or trucks.
The interlock system for loading arms and stairs must assure that a train or truck will not access a loading station unless all loading arms, hoses and stairs are locked in a safe position and cannot be damaged while entering. Visa versa the train or truck cannot leave the loading station unless all loading arms, hoses and stairs are disconnected and locked in a safe position.

You can find a detailed example of such a sequence at applications: loading stations.
