Southco Inc. is highlighting its new R4-15 Rotary Latch, which functions as a sort of “master key” to panels on heavy machinery.

The R4-15 Rotary Latch secures onto a wide variety of panels that technicians find on different heavy machinery. Southco also offers tool-actuated options that match specifically to certain machines.

This allows operators to open any panel they need with one single key that features an ergonomic design to reduce fatigue and increase comfort.

Southco notes benefits to having a tool to help access all types of panels when repairing machinery, such as:

  • Increasing convenience
  • Keeping access simple
  • Ensuring critical systems keep running

With an option for hand-operated functionality, the R4-15 can permanently attach its key. It can also adapt to different environments to ensure easy access and strong durability.

The R4-15 Rotary Latch maintains its durability and long lifespan with features like:

  • Sturdy construction
  • Reinforced housing for tool-operated heads
  • Zinc-nickel coating for corrosion resistance

The R4-15 joins Southco’s current line of R-4 Rotary Latches.
