Look to buy over camming latch linkage for back of dump truck

[bigrich954rr]

Looking for the linkage that connects the air cylinder to the back latch assembly of a dump truck or dump trailer that is and over camming linkage so when the latch is closed and no air pressure is present it stays latched

Looking for ideas where to buy been googling it for weeks.

I understand what your asking for but isn't the air cylinder spring loaded, so when air bleeds off the spring keeps it latched, just like air brakes?

Maybe no spring, found this

I have the latch part and the air cylinder I need the linkage that goes in between. But thanks on the the link .

It has springs but there no way near as strong as air brake springs so when the air pressure bleeds down the gate will pop open.

Many years ago when I was in manufacturing I used "business to business" catelog with great sucess. Though we kept this catelog in the plant for research source, you may be able to find one in the library or even a manufactuing facility in your area.

The springs should hold the cams closed and the air cylinder should pull the cams open. That way if you loose air pressure to the cylinders the tailgate won't come open with a load in the bed.
