Product Information
Pressure-locked means bearing bars are locked in position by cross bar deformation instead of riveting or welding. Typically, the bearing and cross bars contain slotted openings that are aligned in an egg-crate fashion. Then, the bars are pressed under intense hydraulic pressure. The result is a flush top with excellent lateral stability and standing comfort.
Press Locked Series
McNichols’ press-locked products are divided into four series—each with specific bearing and cross bar spacing, bearing bar sizes, weights, load characteristics, fastener requirements, etc. Links to press-locked series information are provided below. Press-locked is also available as a Close Mesh series.
