In busy industrial environments, having reliable braking systems for mobile equipment is essential. Whether you’re working in a warehouse, workshop, or manufacturing facility, keeping heavy trolleys or workbenches safely in place is critical for both safety and efficiency. This cast iron truck lock floor lock is designed specifically to meet that need - offering firm, secure braking power without compromising on ease of use or durability.
A Brake, Not a Load-Bearer
It’s important to understand the role of a floor lock like this one. While it may look similar to castors or jacks, its purpose is not to carry weight - it functions solely as a floor-based brake. Once installed between or beside castors, the lock’s mechanism lowers a rubber-padded foot to the floor, creating strong friction that holds equipment firmly in place. This prevents unwanted movement, even during heavy use or when tools and machinery are in operation.
Compatible with a Wide Range of Equipment
The floor lock features a mounting height of 200mm, with a retracted height of 164mm, making it suitable for use alongside standard heavy-duty castors. Its plate measures 152mm by 115mm and includes fixing hole centres of 127mm by 63.5mm, with 14mm holes for secure fitting. This ensures compatibility with a broad range of industrial trolleys, fabrication carts, mobile benches and other wheeled platforms where stability is needed.
Durable Cast Iron Construction
Built from solid cast iron and finished with a zinc-plated coating, this floor lock is made to withstand harsh conditions. From oil-spattered workshops to damp loading bays, the corrosion-resistant finish helps extend the life of the lock even in challenging environments. The wide 75mm footpad offers excellent grip across a variety of floor surfaces and spreads weight evenly to minimise damage to the floor below.
Simple Foot Pedal Operation
Designed for convenience and control, the floor lock uses a pedal mechanism to switch between mobile and locked positions. A quick press with the foot lowers the pad to the floor, anchoring the equipment in place. When movement is needed again, a simple lift of the pedal allows the unit to retract. This allows operators to make fast, hands-free adjustments while staying focused on the task at hand.
Ideal for Industrial and Workshop Use
This type of floor lock is perfect for anyone who needs to stabilise mobile equipment without installing permanent fixings or drilling into the floor. Whether you’re positioning a mobile workbench, locking down a tool cart during use, or holding a wheeled platform in place during loading, this brake provides a secure and floor-friendly solution.
Its cast iron build, simple operation and compatibility with a range of mounting configurations make it a reliable addition to any industrial space. If you need a cost-effective and heavy-duty method of braking for your mobile equipment, this truck lock is a highly effective solution.
