In a particular embodiment, the system includes first and second tubular sleeves adapted to removably slide over cylindrical bollards, wherein the tubular sleeves are configured to rotate about a vertical axis of the cylindrical bollards. The system also includes first and second arms secured to the respective tubular sleeves, wherein the arms are adapted to sweep over a horizontal surface of a loading dock when the tubular sleeves are rotated. In addition, the system includes first and second pistons, wherein a first end of each piston is secured to a rear portion of the respective arm and the arm swings to a desired position in response to the respective piston. A slidable pin of each arm is configured to engage receptacles mounted in a horizontal surface of a loading dock when the arms are in a closed position.
