Lock Rings
RIMEX offers a wide-range of one and two-piece lock rings manufactured to the highest standards using only quality steel. Download our catalogue for a list of common part numbers.
One-piece Lock Rings
One-piece lock rings are produced with a minimum 2" overlap (exact amount will vary slightly by size and type). Over time lock rings will lose their spring and the amount of overlap will reduce. Therefore, RIMEX recommends regular visual inspections of the lock ring to ensure it hasn't stretched beyond product guidelines. Click here for more information about lock ring inspection and safety.
Two-piece Lock Rings
NEW! Articulating Lock Ring (ALR)
Is engineered to increase safety. Unlike traditional one-piece lock rings, there is no stored energy released when the part is removed. Damaged hinges are easily replaced and do not result in a scrapped component. Optional EZ GRIP handles protect hands from the hazards and dangers associated with with tire maintenance.
RIMEX manufactures the ALR for 51 - 63" lock ring styles (HDT, TSR, MST) to suit all equipment types. Additional sizes in development.
Standard two-piece lock rings
