Lever Latches and Keepers for Trailer Sideboards

Lever Latches, Sideboard Latches and Keepers for Trailers

In this category, you will find lever latches, sideboard latches and latch keepers designed to securely fasten trailer sideboards, tailgates, ramps, flaps and other opening sections.

We offer genuine closing mechanisms from Winterhoff, FBS, Cheval Liberté and Debon for cargo, flatbed, tipping, box and utility trailers, as well as horse trailers. The range includes left-hand and right-hand lever latches in various sizes, along with matching keepers.

Lever Latches for Sideboards, Tailgates and Ramps

A lever latch is used to securely hold a sideboard, tailgate, ramp or flap in the closed position. When closed, the latch hook engages with a fixed keeper, while the lever mechanism provides easy and reliable fastening.

Depending on their design and application, these closing mechanisms are also referred to as sideboard latches, sideboard catches, tailgate latches, ramp latches or lever catches. Selected versions feature a spring-loaded safety catch that reduces the risk of the latch releasing unintentionally.

Latches for Cargo, Tipping and Flatbed Trailers

For cargo, flatbed and tipping trailers, we offer primarily Winterhoff and FBS lever latches. Their robust construction makes them suitable for sideboards, tailgates and other opening sections of utility trailers.

The range includes, for example, Winterhoff WV 10 and WV 20 sideboard latches, their matching keepers and FBS latches for hinged and swinging sideboards on cargo and tipping trailers.

Ramp and Window Latches for Horse Trailers

A separate product group consists of lever latches for horse trailers. These are used, for example, to secure front and rear ramps, upper flaps or hinged windows. We offer genuine latches and keepers used on Cheval Liberté trailers and other horse trailers.

Keepers for Lever Latches

The range also includes keepers for lever latches. A keeper forms the fixed part of the closing mechanism into which the latch hook engages. For correct and safe operation, it is important to select a keeper that matches the specific lever latch.

For Winterhoff latches, we offer, for example, WVG 10-A for WV 10-L and WV 10-R, and WVG 20-A for WV 20-L and WV 20-R. Keepers for latches used on ramps and other trailer sections are also available.

How to Choose the Right Lever Latch

When choosing a latch, we recommend comparing the left-hand or right-hand configuration, overall dimensions, mounting hole spacing, hook shape, mounting method and matching keeper. When replacing an older latch, we also recommend checking the manufacturer's markings, model number and the design of the original part.

Individual product listings include available technical dimensions, part numbers and compatibility information to help you choose the right replacement latch for your trailer.
