Diff Lockers
DIFFERENTIAL LOCKERS
A Differential Locker (Diff Locker) significantly enhances the off-road capability of your 4WD by ensuring equal power distribution to both wheels on an axle. This modification is especially useful in extreme off-road conditions where one wheel may lose traction.

HOW IT WORKS ?
A standard automotive differential allows wheels to rotate at different speeds, which is beneficial on paved roads but can be a disadvantage off-road. A diff locker restricts this independent movement, forcing both wheels to rotate at the same speed. This prevents power loss and ensures maximum traction.
KEY ADVANTAGES
- Enhanced Traction – Ensures both wheels receive equal power
- Improved Off-Road Capability – Better control on rough terrain
- Prevention of Wheel Spin – Reduces the chances of getting stuck
- Reduced Need for Momentum – Less reliance on speed to overcome obstacles
- Better Climbing Ability – More stability on steep inclines

APPLICATIONS
Four wheel driving across rough terrain can lead to some of the most exhilarating adventures one could have. But as any four wheeler can tell you, spinning your wheels and getting stuck leads to nothing but frustration. Often you know you have the right vehicle to take on the most extreme terrain, yet still you find that it baulks at the slightest of obstacles, losing traction at the most inappropriate times, leaving you stranded.
- Race cars often use locking differentials in order to maintain traction during high speed maneuvers or when accelerating at extreme rates. Additionally, vehicle dynamics are made more predictable when there is a loss of traction, as the driver knows that neither wheel will suddenly sap power if it encounters a low-friction surface.
- Some utility vehicles such as tow trucks, forklifts, tractors, and heavy equipment use locking differentials to maintain traction, especially when driving on soft, muddy, or uneven surfaces. Lockers are common in agricultural equipment and military trucks. On some farm tractors, there is a pedal that can be stepped on with the operator's heel to lock the differential as needed.
- Differential locking can also be used in the sport of drifting as an alternative to a limited-slip differential.
- Four-wheel drive vehicles that drive off-road often use a locking differential to keep from getting stuck when driving on loose, muddy, or rocky terrain. Locking differentials are considered essential equipment for serious off-road driving. Many such vehicles have a locking differential on the central differential (between the front and rear axles), rear differential and front differential; or any combination of any of the three. Differential locks are also used on some "non-utility" four-wheel-drive vehicles (such as the Mitsubishi Shogun) to compensate for a relative lack of axle articulation (vertical wheel movement). High amounts of articulation are desirable for off-road driving, to allow the wheels to maintain ground contact over uneven surfaces, but this can lead to excessive body-roll at high speeds on the road, as well as vague steering. Such 4x4s often have suspension systems designed as a compromise between articulation and handling. If articulation is limited, one wheel on an axle may be lifted off the ground by rough terrain, thus losing all traction to all wheels (all power goes to the lifted wheel, which spins freely). A rear locking differential is often supplied to make up for this compromise – if a wheel is lifted off the ground, the locking differential can be brought into play, driving the wheel that remains on the ground
