When you’re working with heavy trolleys, mobile platforms or rolling carts, you need full control over movement. That means easy mobility when required - and rock-solid stability when it’s time to stop. The 210mm Pressed Steel Truck Lock Floor Lock delivers exactly that.


This robust floor lock allows you to quickly switch between free-rolling and locked modes using a simple, fast-action foot pedal. It’s engineered to keep equipment securely in place without needing to rely solely on wheel brakes, which can wear down or fail under heavy use.


Whether you’re operating on a busy factory floor, assembling mobile workstations in a warehouse, or managing load-bearing trollies, this truck lock is a cost-effective and easy-to-use solution that enhances both safety and efficiency.



What Does a Floor Lock Do?


A floor lock, sometimes called a truck lock, is mounted between the wheels or castors of a trolley or cart. When engaged, it lowers a non-slip foot pad to the floor using downward force. This pad creates friction against the floor surface, preventing the cart from moving - even if it’s on a slope or subjected to bumps and knocks.


Unlike a traditional brake that acts on a wheel, a floor lock:



  • Doesn’t wear out tyres
  • Works on a variety of floor types
  • Can be adjusted for height
  • Allows fast and silent securing with minimal effort


Key Features at a Glance



  • Pressed Steel Construction: Strong and durable, ideal for industrial environments
  • Zinc-Plated Finish: Corrosion-resistant and long-lasting, even with heavy daily use
  • 210mm Mounting Height: Suitable for a wide range of trolleys, benches, and mobile platforms
  • Quick-Release Pedal: Switch between locked and free with a tap of your foot - no tools required
  • Moderate Pedal Force: Easy to engage and release without strain


Ideal Applications


This truck lock is a smart addition to:



  • Industrial and warehouse carts and trollies
  • Mobile workstations or fabrication benches
  • Stage or set equipment that needs to move quickly but stay secure when in position
  • Large rolling cabinets or display units in retail or workshop environments

Because the locking mechanism acts directly on the floor - not the wheel - it bypasses issues like wheel slippage, brake failure, or misalignment on uneven ground.



Why Use a Truck Lock Over a Wheel Brake?


Wheel brakes are fine for light-duty use, but they have their limits. Under load, they can wear out, become unreliable, or simply struggle to keep heavy units from drifting.


Truck locks, on the other hand:



  • Deliver direct floor contact for more secure holding power
  • Won’t damage or deform castors over time
  • Are faster to engage and release than manual brakes
  • Work well on flat, smooth, or slightly uneven surfaces

If your team regularly moves heavy trolleys or mobile platforms, the 210mm Truck Lock Floor Lock is a smart upgrade. It speeds up transitions, adds a new layer of safety, and reduces wear and tear on your wheels - all while being compact, low-maintenance, and easy to install.
