Description
Overview:
This threaded drop catch, M12 x 75mm (MPN 763 075), is a robust latch pin used to secure moving panels on trailers and similar bodies. The catch features an 18.9mm diameter pin for positive engagement with a mating bracket or keep, and a 75mm long M12 threaded section for straightforward through-panel or bracket mounting. A zinc-plated finish provides surface protection in typical road and site conditions. Supplied complete with an M12 nyloc nut and flat washer, it is ready to install without additional fixings. Commonly used to hold ramps in the upright position, lock tailgates closed, or retain access doors, this is a practical choice for general-purpose trailers, plant and equipment carriers, box bodies and service vans. Dimensions are provided to assist with replacement and new-build fit-outs where clearances are critical.
