Load locks, also called load distribution bars or cargo load locks, are square bars with an extendible fitting on each end that lock into a track system on the interior of a trailer. Load bars for trailers then lock into place at the desired length with an easy-release trigger mechanism meant to be functional even when wearing thick gloves for safety. Load locks for trailers are made of steel or high performance aluminum.
Load locks for trucks, or some lighter applications come as ratcheting load bars that do not require an track system for use, instead they are secured by pressure against the cargo and trailer surface.
Load locks are a smart way to secure cargo for transport and maximize load safety by preventing shifting that might allow products not secured with cargo load bars to impact one another and cause damage. Cargo bars for trucks can stand alone or work with a track system.
