Foot-operated release catch for floor-mounted pull-out unit

The Smart Storing foot-operated release catch is a hands-free lock release for floor-mounted pull-out units, built for warehouse and production operators who handle units where a side handle is not practical. It is used with models such as HMU wire mesh container units, where the loading method makes a side handle unsuitable. The catch is operated by foot, releasing the unit so it can be extended without using the hands, which keeps the operator’s hands free for the load. It is delivered complete with a floor stop that holds the unit securely in position until released. A handle or foot-operated release catch is required for every floor-mounted pull-out unit and should be specified when ordering; the standard handle suits most models, while the Easy Action handle is recommended for the heaviest loads. It is compatible with Smart Storing floor-mounted pull-out units. Typical applications include automotive manufacturing, warehouse and distribution, and workshop environments where wire mesh containers and heavy loads are pulled out at floor level.
