Thickened Engine Hood Lock for Excavators Product overview Purpose built replacement hood lock designed to secure engine hoods on medium and large excavators. Size: thickened design to improve strength and wear resistance without changing installation points. Function: provides consistent locking and unlocking action to keep the hood closed during operation and transport and allows reliable access for maintenance. Key benefits Secure closure: reduces hood movement and rattling during work and transport, maintaining proper alignment. Durable design: thickened construction improves resistance to bending and deformation under heavy use. Easy swapin replacement: matches mounting and function for direct replacement on compatible models, limiting downtime. Consistent performance: engineered for smooth engagement and reliable holding force over repeated cycles. Compatibility Compatible with Cat200, 312, 320, 330 B C, and 336d excavator models for engine hood locking applications. Practical attributes Function: locks and releases the engine hood, enabling safe access for servicing while ensuring the hood stays closed when required. Size: specified thickened profile for improved mechanical strength. Performance: built for repeated operation in demanding field conditions to maintain fitting and function over time. Use scenarios Onsite replacement during routine maintenance when an existing hood lock is worn or damaged, restoring secure closure quickly. Fleet refurbishment when upgrading or standardizing components across multiple excavators to improve longevity. Pretransport inspection and to ensure hoods remain locked and secure during movement between job sites. What to expect Directfit replacement for the listed excavator models when hood lock failure or excessive play is found. Consistent locking action and reduced need for frequent adjustments due to the reinforced, thickened construction. Note Verify model compatibility before ordering to ensure correct fit for specific machine variants.
