Vestil Manufacturing FL-8 Floor Lock for 8 Inch Casters

Product Description

The VESTIL MANUFACTURING FL-8 is a spring-loaded floor lock designed to stabilize mobile equipment during loading and unloading operations. Built with heavy-duty steel and a bright zinc-plated finish, it fits casters with an 8-inch wheel diameter and adjusts to a height range of 8.625 inches to 9.8125 inches. A non-skid rubber foot pad makes firm contact with the floor surface to prevent rolling or shifting. This lock is intended for use by trade professionals and facilities staff who need a fast, reliable way to immobilize carts, work benches, platform trucks, and similar portable equipment without permanent anchoring.

The FL-8 is suited for industrial, warehouse, and shop environments where wheeled equipment must be held stationary during use. Typical applications include hand trucks, utility carts, mobile workbenches, and assembly line carts operating on concrete or smooth flooring. The spring-loaded engagement mechanism allows quick deployment and release without tools, making it practical for high-cycle environments where equipment is frequently moved and repositioned.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians or equipment assemblers. Ensure the caster stem or mounting frame is clean and undamaged before attaching the lock. Verify that the adjusted height allows the rubber foot pad to make solid contact with the floor surface when engaged. Follow the equipment manufacturer's mounting guidelines and any applicable facility safety procedures when modifying wheeled equipment.
