Dropside Pesca Lock

The Dropside Pesca Lock Recessed Tailboard Catch is a heavy-duty mechanical fastening component designed for secure closure of tailboards, tipper bodies, and drop-side assemblies. Manufactured from mild steel and finished in zinc plating, this lock provides a durable and corrosion-resistant solution for commercial and industrial vehicle bodywork.

Engineered with a recessed profile, the catch sits flush with the mounting surface, reducing external protrusions and minimizing risk of impact damage. The robust construction ensures long-term reliability under frequent opening and closing cycles typical of tipper and trailer operations.

The six-point fixing arrangement allows for secure attachment to steel or aluminium panels, maintaining high shear strength and alignment accuracy. The base plate measures 290 × 120 × 3 mm, providing a large contact area for enhanced load distribution.
