partition wall closure

Parting wall lock, also known as clamping boards or clamping boards, are a proven aid for mechanically securing loads on flatbed trucks, trucks, vans, and trailers. They can be used to quickly and easily divide loading areas and reliably secure loads against slipping or tipping over.

Functionality & typical areas of application

A Parting wall lock is placed on both sides of the side wall or existing bow boards and then clamped in place using a clamping lever. This quickly creates a stable partition wall that separates and protects your load. Depending on the design, the locking force is around 400 daN – sufficient for many everyday transport tasks.

Typical areas of application include:

• Construction and craft businesses (transport of building materials and machinery)
• Freight forwarders with tarpaulin or bow structures
• Car trailers for private transport, e.g., furniture or garden equipment
• Municipal companies such as road construction and landscaping

Material, construction & advantages

Our Parting wall lock are made of thick-walled aluminum combined with robust steel clamping elements. This combination of materials ensures low weight, high stability, and a long service life. For drivers, this means

• lower weight and therefore easier handling
• Quick assembly without tools
• high corrosion resistance and long service life
• flexible adaptation to different side wall thicknesses

Dimensions & custom designs

We manufacture parting wall lock in various lengths – standard from 1,700 mm to 2,700 mm with an adjustment range of approx. 300 mm. Models with a working range of 1.23 m to 1.80 m are available for smaller trailers. This means that both compact transporters and large flatbed vehicles can be equipped to fit perfectly.

Care, maintenance, and safety instructions

To ensure that your clamping boards continue to work reliably, we recommend regular visual inspections. Pay particular attention to:

• damaged or worn seals and rubberized steel end pieces
• Dirt on the interlocking aluminum surfaces (dirt can block the adjustability)
• Cracks or deformations on clamping jaws and lever mechanisms

If you suspect damage, carry out a functional test immediately and replace any defective parts. Proper maintenance ensures that the full clamping force is maintained.

Limitations & sensible combinations

Parting wall locks are very practical, but they also have limitations: The actual holding force depends, among other things, on the condition of the side wall and the clamping surfaces. Weather conditions (wetness, ice, heavy dirt) can reduce the clamping effect. For particularly heavy or slippery loads, we recommend combining them with airline rails and shoring beams to achieve an even more form-fitting and resilient securing system.

Conclusion

Parting wall locks are a quick, cost-effective, and flexible solution for dividing loading areas and securing loads quickly. Their lightweight aluminum construction makes them particularly user-friendly—ideal for trades, construction, and commercial transport. Choose the right length or have a custom size made to optimally structure your loading area.
