Hydraulic Locks VZD and HZD
Hydraulic locks are designated for fixation of positions and statuses of hydraulic devices (hydro engines) upon interruption of the supply of work fluid. They also function as a safety element in the event of a defect in the hydraulic system – this is a prerequisite for all lifting technology.

Hydraulic Lock HZS 
This device closes perfectly the work circuit under pressure, secures the level of stress, if declining due to a pipe failure, and keeps a stable position of hydraulic cylinders under pressure even for extended time intervals. It is delivered in three versions:
- double-sided lock
- one-sided lock with a valve in branch 1
- one-sided lock with a valve in branch 2
