E-Series Skid Steer Lock

Lock single drive controls of all skidsteers. Will it work on an
enclosed cab? Thank you for your interest in The Equipment Lock
Company products. Your question for the enclosed cab application is
common. YES, it will work! The E-Series Lock, which locks one drive
control lever, mounts permanently on the cage by "sandwiching” two
plates on the cage. In the case of enclosed cabs, the locking plate is
installed on the outside of the cab and the 3/16" thick mounting plate
is put on the inside (this allows the glass to slide past it while
operating the machine). A window must be open only while the lock is
installed. See NOTE below. The E-Series Lock is permanently attached
with 4 non-reversing stainless steel screws. The "U-bar" captures one
drive control lever and locks into the locking plate (which is secured
on the cage) therefore securing the machine. NOTE: Some of our
Canadian customers have cut a piece of Plexiglas or plywood to fit over
the exposed window area while the machine is being secured, therefore
preventing the weather from coming in. Others have mounted the E-Series
lock below the cab window by drilling 4 small holes for the mounting
screws, therefore allowing normal window usage. We cannot, and do not
recommend this installation due to liability and warranty reasons with
your machine. The installation we were told of requires an area
directly below the window, in-line with the drive control lever, on the
solid steel portion of the protective cage 4" high and 6" “length-wise”
(preferred on the left side as if seated). All installation remains the
same, but holes must be drilled in the protective cage (ROPS) for the 4
screws. We do not, and cannot recommend this installation method due to
liability and warranty reasons with your machine. Again, we do not, and
cannot recommend this installation method due to liability and warranty
reasons with your machine. Should you drill holes in the protective cage
(ROPS) it may affect the structural integrity (warranty), and cause
damage or injury. Should you become injured from this occurrence, TELC
cannot be held responsible (liability) for your installing the product
in this method. Again, we do not, and cannot recommend this installation
method due to liability and warranty reasons with your machine. This is
why we recommend installing The E-Series Lock on the outside of the cage
and leaving the window open while the lock is securing the machine.
SPECIAL NOTE: Some models of Gehl® and all of Belle® skid loaders may
not have holes in the protective cage below the drive controls.
Additionally, some models of Caterpillar® skid loaders with enclosed
cabs (ONLY) may have stationary glass at drive control level. This may
prohibit the Skidsteer Lock or E-Series Skidsteer Lock from being
installed in the normal fashion. JCB Robot®, Takeuchi® and Thomas® skid
loaders cannot use the Skidsteer Lock, only the E-Series Skidsteer Lock
may be used. The Skidsteer Lock or E-Series Skidsteer Lock may be
installed in a manner to prevent the lap-bar from coming down
prohibiting operation. Please contact TELC for alternative installation
instructions prior to ordering for these machines. Should you have
any further question, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
