Overcentre Thin Latch Adjustable (262mm)

Ensure high-tension, vibration-free clamping on your vehicle dropsides and equipment enclosures with the Burquip Overcentre Thin Latch Adjustable. Engineered for utility trailers, caravans, dropside bakkie bodies, and commercial transport boxes, this slender, low-profile overcentre fastener features an adjustable draw-arm to ensure exact tensioning, keeping tailgates and access panels locked tight against frame seals throughout demanding journeys.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Adjustable Threaded Draw-Arm: Features a threaded loop/hook stem that allows for fine-tuned tension adjustment, compensating for panel wear, seal compression, or varying gap tolerances over time.

• Over-Centre Locking Mechanism: Utilizes an over-centre cam-action linkage that snaps firmly past its pivot point, delivering immense clamping force to prevent accidental pop-ups caused by chassis twist and road vibrations.

• Slim / Thin Body Profile: The narrow footprint fits neatly into slim corner posts, narrow chassis channels, and tight panel edges where wider latch bodies cannot be accommodated.

• Extended 262mm Reach: Provides excellent lever-arm reach and high mechanical advantage, making opening and closing under heavy load tension smooth and manageable.

• Heavy-Duty Steel Construction: Built from solid, high-tensile steel designed to withstand significant dynamic shock loads, road fatigue, and harsh outdoor working conditions.

• Direct Hook Compatibility: Pairs seamlessly with Burquip Z029 series engaging hooks (Straight Z029A or Bent Z029B) for simple weld-on or bolt-on installation.
