PostHeaderIcon T-Lock

tlock1Melbourne Prop Hire are proud to be the sole Australian Supplier of the lockingT-Lock Brace Locking System.

Innovative Design

The t-lock™ innovative design makes it a reusable, dedicated safety system that is easy to use and fits all existing precast concrete braces. One of the unique features is the one-handed operation – one hand for the job, one for your life. Simply push the button to secure the t-lock™ and its open or closed position will be shown by the safety visual indicator.

Safety Benefits

The t-lock™ with no sharp protrusions is safe to use and contributes to a safe working environment. The t-lock™ eliminates the need to use nails as a brace pin securing device, which prevents unauthorised persons removing brace pins. Its sturdy construction also reduces the risk of vandals removing braced pins. The t-lock™ is the first dedicated safety locking system for concrete panel braces.

Cost Advantage

The t-lock™ reduces lost time incidences (LTI's) with a uniquely designed system to fit all existing braces. The system can be used on all size braces up to 50kN. The t-lock™ has enormous potential to reduce insurance claims and site inspection time. The t-lock™ is a completely reusable system, saving time on installation and removal. 

The Brace Pin

The t-lock™ fits all braces that utilise a 16mm diameter pin. It has been tested by NATA Laboratory and has a safety factor of 3 to 1, as well as a Certified SWL (safe working load) of 50kN (5 tonnes). All pins are stamped with SWL and are rated for all braces up to 50kN. The t-lock™ is manufactured from precision ground steel and coated with gold chromate finish.

The Lock

It is easy to fit with a one handed, simple push of the button which requires a unique key to open.

The locking mechanism is coated with gold chromate finish for durability.

The Key
