Galbreath introduces rolloff locking system

Trailer, hoist and container handler manufacturer Galbreath, a brand owned by Charlotte, North Carolina-based Wastequip, has announced the launch of the ROC-LOC rolloff container locking system. The new system “offers a simple, low-maintenance method for securing rolloff containers for transport,” says Galbreath.

The company says ROC-LOC is patent-pending and Department of Transportation (DOT) compliant and has been designed to be compatible with most brands of cable hoists, hook hoists and trailers. ROC-LOC includes air-actuated, auto-system airbags designed to ensure contact with the container and to require less maintenance compared to similar products on the market. The driver doesn’t have to manually secure the container, saving time and money, according to Galbreath.

“ROC-LOC requires only 60 psi of air pressure and has two single-acting airbags to keep each arm in the ‘hold’ position,” Galbreath states in a press release. “It is mounted to the side of the hoist frame, and below the top of the side rollers, and has independent hooks to ensure contact with the container’s long sills. It is simple to maintain and service, and is engineered to protect the air bags from costly damage.” ROC-LOC also works well in cold climates, says the company.

“Until now, rolloff container securement systems have required costly and time-consuming maintenance,” says John Defenbaugh, president of Wastequip’s mobile products division. “Galbreath’s new ROC-LOC roll-off container locking system operates with air-actuated airbags – rather than air cylinders found on competitive products – and it’s designed to work with standard air-shift power take-offs (PTOs).”

Adds Defenbaugh, “We definitely had the end user in mind when we designed the ROC-LOC system to not only be quick, but also prevent the driver from having to manually secure the container.”

Included in the ROC-LOC kit are one air brake protection valve, one 60 PSI air regulator, one pilot-operated check valve, one 12-volt solenoid, two ROC-LOC hook assemblies, all required air lines and fittings and comprehensive installation instructions, says the company.

Wastequip’s mobile products division includes the Galbreath, Mountain Tarp, Pioneer and Cusco brands. Other Wastequip brands include Wastequip, Toter, Accurate and Go To Parts.
