The Vestil FL-LK-SMR-L Floor Lock Left Side Mount is a general-purpose immobilizing device designed to secure equipment, platform trucks, or fixture dollies equipped with casters. Activation is simple: a light step on the foot-operated mechanism locks the unit by pressing its spring-loaded pad against the floor, stabilizing the load. Releasing the lock is as straightforward as kicking the release rod. The system features an independent brake that can be mounted at a convenient location on the cart, providing flexible braking control separate from the caster configuration. The vertical mounting plate is intended for mounting to the sides of portable carts or similar equipment, and the spring-loaded pad helps accommodate uneven floor surfaces for more reliable engagement when deployed.
Key construction notes include a steel body finished in silver, with a compact profile that fits mounting heights in the 10 to 13-7/8 inch range. The pad sits 1-1/2 inches from the mounting surface when retracted and extends to 18 inches overall when engaged. The mounting plate is 4-1/2 inches wide by 6-1/2 inches tall, with 3/8 inch mounting bolts and a 1/8 inch plate thickness. The lock is designed for a 2 inch travel distance related to the caster width setting and accepts slotted mounting holes measuring 13/32 by 13/16 inches. These details help ensure proper alignment and compatibility with the user’s specific cart or platform configuration.
When selecting and installing this floor lock, verify the mounting height, plate dimensions, and bolt spacing to match your equipment’s dimensions. The user should also plan for the retraction clearance and ensure there is a suitable location for the independent brake mechanism on the cart. Proper installation that aligns with the stated mounting hole patterns and dimensions will help ensure reliable operation and secure immobilization across uneven floor conditions.
