Rocky Dump Lock

 

 

 

The Rocky Dump Lock is a semi-automatic, vertical lock for keeping a dump truck’s tailgate from opening and spilling contents while the truck is moving. The lock works with the original locking system of the truck.

The lock is attached to the tailgate and the box bed, rests on the tailgate latch, preventing the tailgate from opening accidentally while moving. This lessens the chances of contents spilling on the road, which could cause traffic obstructions and accidents
