From the beginning, APSCO products have been designed and manufactured for the heavy truck and mobile equipment industries. Our tailgate latch cylinders are no exception. In today’s tailgate locking applications, a stable, reliable, and fast latch is mandatory. More drivers, manufacturers, and distributors are counting on APSCO tailgate latch kits to ensure a quick and strong latching or unlatching of the tailgate. Operators have peace of mind that their cylinders will remain durable over time and in harsh environments.

With a variety of strokes and bores to fit nearly any body or trailer, APSCO tailgate latch cylinders have become the leader in the industry for OEMs, aftermarket and replacement parts.
