Why we recognized Trimax
The RevRated Top Brand recognition isn't paid for and can't be applied for. We award it to the brands whose products consistently stand out in our category roundups. Trimax earned it on the strength of the products below, evaluated the same way every product on this site is: checked against the specs, fitment data and verified buyer reviews, and judged on merit.
Trimax products we rated highly
TRIMAX TCL65 Trailer Wheel Lock
A boot clamp with a chock built into the jaw, so the clamp itself stops the tire rolling. The locking mechanism is pick-resistant, the body is heavy-gauge powder-coated steel, and rubber-coated arms grip the tire without marking the rim. It opens across a 6 to 10.5 inch tire width with a 7.25 inch reach.

The TCL65 design in a larger frame, with the same pick-resistant core, powder-coated steel and built-in chock. It opens from 7 to 11.25 inches with a 10.5 inch reach, which suits the wider tires on cargo, car-hauler and camper trailers.

TRIMAX TWL100 Ultra-MAX Adjustable Wheel Lock
A heavy steel cover goes over the lug nuts to prevent the wheel being removed by unbolting it. The clamp adjusts to wheels from 10 to 18 inches, with the arm opening to 14 inches, and the epoxy powder-coat finish is meant for outdoor storage.

TRIMAX TCL265 Wheel Chock Lock, 2-Pack
Two TCL65 chock locks keyed alike, so one key opens both, supplied with a carrying case. A pair lets you lock a wheel on each side of a tandem-axle trailer, and a weather-resistant rubber cap protects each lock from dirt and moisture. Each lock keeps the TCL65 tire width of 6 to 10.5 inches.

- Closed length, open length and reach are published on the product page for each TCL wheel chock lock, so a buyer can measure a tire against them before ordering.
- Replacement and extra keys are sold on Trimax's own site, along with a key core for the TWL series and a key hole cover for the TCL series.
- Trimax runs an asset protection program for fleets and equipment operators that sets up one key across many locks, or keying by crew or location.
