A device (7) for locking the sideboards of a vehicle platform comprises at least one locking bolt (8, 9) which is movable by means of an operating mechanism having a handle portion (10) connected to the locking bolt by at least one articulated link adapted to convert a pivotal movement of the handle portion into a movement of displacement of the locking bolt. The movable components of the locking device are maintained relative to a frame or base member (14) by at least two male-type projections which engage with female-type guide means and are movable back and forth therein. The guide means are in the form of internal grooves in rails (17, 17') which project from opposite sides of the locking device and are insertible and stationarily mountable in channel-shaped brackets (6, 6') associated with the sideboard (3) of the vehicle platform. |
