Disc Brake Hold Down

Convert your existing problematic mechanical hold-down dock leveler, trouble-free disc brake hold-down assembly. Eliminate problems associated with traditional rigid style ratchet hold-downs and the wear and tear issues that are created by air-ride trailer suspension movement.
