SPRINGFIELD, IL – Each year, hundreds of serious injuries and fatalities occur when unsecured, or improperly secured, dump beds fall while workers are performing truck maintenance.

WorkSafe USA, Inc. now has available the Dump-Lok dump truck and dump trailer safety support device.

The Dump-Lok steel braces lock a truck’s dump bed in the raised position, preventing it from falling in cases of system failure or operator error. Plus, Dump-Lok safely holds dump boxes at angles higher than most manufacturer body props, giving workers safe access to more areas underneath the dump bed.

Dump-Lok has been independently tested by the Structures and Materials Testing Laboratory at the University of Wisconsin – Madison to support a massive 95,000 lbs (pairs).
