Buyers Products Company TGL3410 Weld‑On Tailgate Latch Assembly with Aluminum Bracket — Steel Latch, Secondary Lock

The Buyers Products TGL3410 is a weld-on tailgate latch assembly with an aluminum bracket and clevis plus a welded secondary lock to keep dump tailgates secure during transport and dumping.

Built for heavy-duty use on dump bodies and trailers, the TGL3410 combines a robust steel latch with an aluminum bracket and clevis to provide durable engagement and smooth operation. Its weld-on mounting creates a tight seal between the tailgate and body to help contain loose materials, while the integrated secondary lock helps prevent accidental opening under load or during rough transit. The design prioritizes long service life and straightforward fabrication for fleet shops and body builders.

How does this latch reduce material loss during transport?

The weld-on installation produces a snug, permanent fit between the tailgate and vehicle body, reducing gaps where mulch, gravel, or dirt can escape. The steel latch is profiled to draw the tailgate tight against the posts, and the clevis/bracket engagement keeps the assembly aligned through repeated cycles.

• weld-on construction for a tight, permanent seal
• steel latch geometry designed to compress the tailgate to the body
• aluminum bracket and clevis maintain consistent alignment

What prevents the tailgate from opening unintentionally?

The TGL3410 includes a welded secondary locking feature that adds a mechanical backup to the primary latch. This secondary lock helps secure the tailgate during vibrations, bumps, and the forces encountered while dumping, offering an extra layer of safety without complicating routine operation.

• weld-on secondary lock resists accidental release
• simple mechanical engagement that operates reliably under load
• designed for repeated use without added complexity

How easy is the TGL3410 to install and service?

The assembly is intended for weld-on installation, making it straightforward for experienced fabricators and fleet maintenance technicians. Its construction minimizes moving part complexity, simplifying inspection and reducing routine maintenance needs.

• clear weld points for straightforward body fabrication
• robust steel and aluminum components for long life
• minimal service items—visual inspection and lubrication as needed

What dump applications is it best suited for?

Designed with versatility in mind, the TGL3410 works well on dump bodies, dump trucks, and dump trailers used by landscapers, contractors, municipalities, and fleet operators. Its materials and locking design handle frequent cycles and heavy-duty jobsite conditions.

• compatible with common dump body and trailer configurations
• built for frequent opening/closing and harsh environments
• favored by fleet maintenance and body fabricators for reliability

Who is this for: The Buyers Products TGL3410 is aimed at fleet managers, body builders, contractors, and landscapers who need a dependable, weld-on tailgate latch that reduces material loss and adds a mechanical secondary lock for added security. It’s a practical choice when you want a durable, low-maintenance latch assembly engineered for repeated dump cycles and straightforward fabrication or retrofit installations.
