Functionality
K20 dropside lock is designed for flatbeds with
external mounted dropsides. The pillar is locked in
the pillar support mounted onto the side rave of the
flatbed. In the pillar there are rule rods which in a
locked position are fixed in a dropside catch. The
dropside catch is mounted onto the flatbed dropsides.

When the pillar handle is opened, the rule rod
moves down enabling the dropside to be folded
down.

To release the pillar from the pillar support, push both
handles down to the end position, which releases the
wedge which is engaged in the support. The pillar
can then be folded out and either hung down
or released to give a completely open load area.

Design and safety
The pillar is fitted with a load indicator that prevents
unintentional or risky operation. The load indicator
indicates when there is a pressure on the inside of
the dropside panel due to load displacement.

As a safety for the user, both handles must be
pushed down to the end position in order to release
