Cab Brace® CB-1 Fire Engine Cab Safety Lock
Secure Raised Fire-Engine and Tilt Cabs Before Maintenance Begins
The Cab Brace® is a secondary mechanical support designed to help secure a raised tilt cab during vehicle maintenance and inspection. Used on cab-over-engine (COE) trucks, fire apparatus, and other tilt cab vehicles, the Cab Brace® provides a physical, load-bearing support that reduces reliance on hydraulic systems alone.
Its patented, adjustable design clamps directly to the truck frame and supports the underside of the raised cab. Adjustable height and angle settings help accommodate different chassis and elevated-cab configurations while preserving access to the work area.
