1.0 I-LOCK™ SAFETY SYSTEM The I-LOCKTM Coupler by Wedgelock must be installed correctly utilizing our 3 hose circuit technology. Correct installation ensures that the I-LOCK™ Coupler’s built in safety features operate in accordance with the way in which the coupler has been designed. -

WEDGE LOCKING PRINCIPLE Another safety feature of the I-LOCK™ Coupler is the Wedge Locking Principle. The locking principle of the primary wedge provides at least 2.5 times the locking force compared with a swinging jaw coupler. -
