In the case of the TB a single over-centre latch sitting on top of the ram. It is necessary to
pull the “trigger” behind the handle before the handle will open. Swing the latch loop away

trailer bed lifts.
o
In the case of the CT177, two over-centre clamps.
o
In the case of the CT166 & 167, two screw clamps
