Used Yvel Truck Locks & Cab Tilt Parts

At VRA Truckparts we stock used OEM Yvel locks, cabin tilt mechanisms and hydraulic latch components removed from late-generation European trucks. Yvel specialises in robust latching and locking systems for cab-over-engine vehicles, so these parts are built to handle demanding fleet use.

Each Yvel part on this page comes from a complete donor truck dismantled in our UK yard, then cleaned, visually inspected and listed with OEM references where available. You get genuine hardware that matches the existing rods, cables and mounting points on your vehicle without paying main-dealer prices.

• Cab tilt locks and hydraulic latches for Volvo FH/FM and other European HGVs
• Door, grille and storage compartment locks for tractor units and rigids
• Pre-assembled lock kits with cables, brackets and mounting hardware where possible
• Fast UK and European shipping with tracked delivery options

About Yvel Latches & Truck Locks

Yvel is a specialist manufacturer of latching and locking systems for commercial vehicles, working within the wider hydraulic and motion control group that also supplies cab-tilt and body hardware to leading truck OEMs. Their products are engineered to keep cabs, body panels and storage compartments securely locked while still allowing easy access for drivers and workshops.

On modern European HGVs, Yvel components are commonly used on Volvo FH and FM trucks as well as other cab-over platforms where safe cab tilting and reliable body locking are essential. This makes Yvel hardware a natural fit for fleets that want proven, OEM-grade solutions rather than universal or pattern locks.

Yvel Truck Parts We Stock at VRA Truckparts

The Yvel parts you will find on this brand page are removed from late Euro 5 and Euro 6 trucks that we dismantle in our Essex facility. Stock changes as new donor vehicles arrive, but we typically hold Yvel hardware for long-haul tractors and distribution trucks from major brands such as Volvo, MAN, DAF, Scania and Mercedes-Benz.

Cabin Tilt & Hydraulic Locks

Many Yvel components are designed to control and secure the tilting cab. Typical items in this group include:

• Cab tilt locks and safety catches for cab-over trucks
• Locking hooks and brackets associated with cab-tilt systems
• Hardware that interfaces with hydraulic pumps, cylinders or tilt linkages

Where you are repairing a full cab-tilt system, it is often worth checking matching items in our Hydraulics category for compatible cylinders, lines and fittings to complete the repair.

Door, Grille & Storage Compartment Locks

Yvel is also widely used for external locking points around the cab and chassis. On this page you may find:

• Cab door locks and latches for heavy trucks and tractors
• Front grille and panel locks that secure access to the engine bay
• Locks and catches for side lockers, toolboxes and under-bunk storage compartments
• Complete lock kits with matched barrels and keys where available

If you prefer to browse by part function rather than brand, you can also explore our Used Truck Door, Grille & Cab Locks section, where many Yvel hardware items will also appear.

Interior Latches & Storage Hardware

Some Yvel parts are found inside the cab, especially around storage spaces and service panels. These may include:

• Latches and catches for overhead lockers and interior storage flaps
• Under-bunk or side storage compartment locks
• Small brackets and linkage pieces used to operate interior locking points

Related components and non-brand-specific items are often listed under Other Interior if you need additional trim or hardware to finish the job.

Quality, Testing & Warranty on Yvel Parts

All Yvel parts at VRA Truckparts are removed from complete donor vehicles that we carefully dismantle on site. After removal, each lock or latch is cleaned externally, checked for obvious damage and assessed for free movement of the mechanism. Where keys are supplied, we test the key operation; where there is a hydraulic or tilt function, we perform basic functional checks where possible.

• Genuine OEM Yvel hardware taken from real trucks, not mixed scrap batches
• Visible Yvel and OEM part numbers kept on the housings wherever possible
• Clean, undamaged housings and mounting points unless stated otherwise in the listing
• Covered by our standard used-parts warranty and returns policy

Using used OEM Yvel locks instead of generic replacements helps maintain the original safety and durability of the cab or bodywork, while still keeping repair costs under control.

Compatibility, OEM Numbers & How to Order Yvel Parts

Because Yvel locks and latches are designed for specific cab types and body configurations, it is important to match the part correctly. Each listing will show the Yvel part number where visible, plus any OEM references from the truck manufacturer and information about the donor vehicle (brand, model, year and Euro standard).

To choose the right Yvel part for your truck:

• Compare the Yvel part number and any OEM numbers on your old unit with those in our photos and description
• Check the cab type (for example Volvo FH vs FM, day cab vs sleeper) and Euro standard
• Confirm the location and function of the lock (door, cab tilt, toolbox, storage flap, etc.)

If you are unsure, please review our Compatibility & VIN Policy and then send us a request with your details. The easiest way is to use the request a part form and include your VIN, truck model, photos of the old lock and any visible part numbers. Our team will check compatibility and confirm which Yvel parts in stock are likely to fit.

When you are ready to order, follow the steps described on our How to Order page. For shipping times and services to your country, please see Delivery & Shipping, and for information about returns in case of problems, visit Returns & Refunds.
