ET STS 2.0 Locking Loading Tube

The secure and reliable storage of tools, components, and special equipment in transport vehicles is of crucial importance for professional tradespeople and fleet operators. A central element of this safety is load securing and protection against unauthorized access. The Sortimo ET STS 2.0 lock for the loading tube represents a high-quality solution here, which was specifically designed for the requirements of modern vehicle conversions. It is not just a simple locking element, but a precisely manufactured component that ensures the integrity of the entire loading system. For anyone looking for a durable and functionally reliable spare lock for the Sortimo loading tube, this product offers the necessary security for daily use under demanding conditions. The combination of robust materials and thoughtful construction ensures that the lock performs its function flawlessly even with frequent use and changing weather conditions.

The construction of the lock is designed to offer maximum stability with simultaneously minimal weight. The main material consists of aluminium, which is known for its corrosion resistance and lightweight design. This is particularly important because the lock is directly connected to the loading tube and is therefore exposed to the same mechanical and chemical stresses. Additionally, components made of PA6, a polyamide with high wear resistance, as well as stainless steel and galvanised steel are used. This mixture of materials ensures high resistance to vandalism and mechanical stress. The use of stainless steel in the lock cylinder prevents rust formation, which significantly increases the longevity of the lock. The total weight of the lock is only 0.13 kg, making it an inconspicuous but essential component of the vehicle equipment. Despite its low weight, it offers a high security standard and fits seamlessly into the design of the Sortimo loading tube.

Technical details are of great importance for the correct selection and installation. The Sortimo ET STS 2.0 lock for the loading tube is designed to support the full load capacity of the tube. The loading tube itself has a maximum payload of 50 kg. The lock must therefore be able to securely fixate this load without any structural weaknesses occurring. The delivery includes not only the lock housing, but also two keys as well as the necessary fixing rivets. This spares the user from having to separately source matching accessories and guarantees that all components are perfectly matched. The galvanised coating of the steel components provides additional protection against moisture and salt exposure, which is particularly advantageous for vehicles used outdoors or in harsh environments.

The area of application for this lock extends to all industries that rely on professional tool storage. Whether in the electrical installation trade, sanitary installation, carpentry, or vehicle construction – wherever valuable tools are carried in the van, a secure lock is essential. The loading tube often serves as the main storage for long workpieces, pipes, or profiles. The lock prevents cargo from falling out during braking or acceleration, or from being accessed by unauthorised persons. Typical applications include securing copper pipes, wooden planks, metal profiles, or long electrical cables. The lock ensures that the loading tube remains securely locked even at full capacity of up to 50 kg. This is particularly relevant for fleets used by multiple drivers, as access to the equipment can thus be controlled.

The advantages of this product are obvious and make it a worthwhile investment for every professional. The following list summarises the most important positive aspects:

The integration into the Sortimo system is a crucial factor for functionality. The ET STS 2.0 lock for the loading tube is not intended as a universal spare part, but as a specific component for the Sortimo loading tube product line. It enables the combination of the loading tube with other elements of the TopSystem, such as side walls, shelves, or dividers. Due to the standardized dimensions and fixing points, the lock can be easily integrated into existing structures. This is particularly advantageous when a vehicle is retrofitted or an existing structure is modernised. The lock for the loading tube with 50 kg payload thus flexibly adapts to the individual requirements of the user. It is important to note that the lock alone does not constitute complete load securing, but is part of an overall system. Together with the flap of the loading tube, it forms a closed unit that prevents both theft and the falling out of cargo. The compatibility with various loading tube lengths from 3 to 6 metres makes it a universal solution for different vehicle types.
