How to secure your GoBlock in your vehicle

The REDARC GoBlock must be securely restrained during travel. The PowerDock is designed to keep your family and GoBlock safe in a crash situation, and it is easy to connect and disconnect the unit in seconds. For non-permanent setups, use the built-in tie-down guides with two 25 mm straps (>200 kg lashing strength) and four load rings (>200 kg). Position straps centrally, with anchor points within the specified spacing.

Important

An unsecured GoBlock can become dangerous in an accident or sudden stop. The GoBlock must be adequately restrained for safe transportation in a vehicle. Choose appropriate load restraint equipment, and ensure it’s in good working order before every use. 

 

REDARC’s GoBlock is built to power your gear, wherever you go. It protects your investment, family, and adventures, ensuring your GoBlock is firmly restrained while driving.

PowerDock

REDARC recommends the PowerDock as a convenient connection and restraint system all in one. The PowerDock is designed to keep your family and GoBlock safe in a crash situation, and it is easy to connect and disconnect the unit in seconds.

Non-Permanent Installation of the PowerDock

For customers who want a non-permanent installation the GoBlock provides tie-down guides so that you can safely restrain the unit. This detail can be found in the manual here.

REDARC recommend straps that meet the following specifications:

  • 2x tie down straps, each with >200kg lashing strength
  • 4x load rings, each with >200kg strength

Please note that the straps must be 25mm wide to suit the strap-grooves in the GoBlock.

Secure the GoBlock with tie-down straps for safe vehicle transportation. The GoBlock can be oriented along or across the vehicle.

Position the tie-down straps centrally along the length and width of the GoBlock.

Anchor point spacings must be equal to or less than the 'max' dimensions shown (measured to the centre point of the anchor point).

 

Important

  • Load straps/restraint equipment must be replaced if they show any signs of wear or damage, or if the vehicle is in a minor or major accident.
  • Do not leave sharp objects (e.g. drills, saws, knives, blades etc.) leaning on or nearby to the tie‑down straps.
  • The GoBlock must be installed behind (not in front) of the vehicle seats. Do not install the GoBlock in the vehicle interior area shared by occupants.
  • Load straps and rings should each have a minimum 200 kg (440 lb) load capacity.
