Power-Packer latches: Securing equipment and operator safety

Space, strength, design and efficiency are key factors when choosing latch components. Moving cargo, working in farm fields or on utilities, or providing other services, vehicle operators must ensure cabs, articulating boom arms and combine auger chutes are locked down and safe for travel.

Power-Packer latches are designed to be compact and versatile while delivering strength and durability:

    • Compact design: Our compact and lightweight latches are constructed as one solid piece, designed to deliver on strength while fitting into a limited footprint.
      • Maximum vertical pull load of 10,000 pounds
      • Maximum hydraulic pressure of 5,000 psi
    • Corrosion resistant: Power-Packer latch assemblies have an IP67 rating, so they’re dust tight and well protected from water.
      • Operational in temperatures from -30 to 130 degrees Fahrenheit
      • Rated for 200 hours or 1,000 hours per ASTM B117
    • Safe, efficient and automated: This latch, designed to handle 10,000 or 18,000 duty cycles locks mechanically and releases hydraulically, which means it keeps equipment secure in the event of hydraulic system failure.

Electrical feedback clearly shows the latch has engaged.

      • Indicates that equipment is secure for safe transportation.
      • Allows the vehicle operator to prioritize equipment operation.

Power-Packer latches are the preferred OEM standard, providing you with reliable, unsurpassed quality.
