Have you guys got any tips for gate locks on dump boxes. Finished up the the screw drive and dump box, just trying to figure out how to lock the gate.
Thanks Rob

Re: Trailer Tips and Tricks
rob , here's what I did
 this is the lever that closes the latch when the bed comes down to rest on the frame . It takes some tweaking till you get it right , but it works like a charm   lets see if the vid works ( i can't remember what the squeaking is  ) IHSteve

Re: Trailer Tips and Tricks
IHsteve. Thanks for that. Here I am thinking about servos and screw drive latches and sometimes a person works himself into a corner. That catch, you built is great and if you don't mind I'll change it a little bit and try to make one like it. The way it opens when the box lifts is what I'm looking for.
