Harrop Engineering has become a multi-discipline engineering specialist, concentrating on automotive manufacturing and the refining of parts for track and endurance applications. The product range is extensive, and includes upgrades for brakes, air intakes, cooling systems, 4×4 parts and accessories, driveline components, exhausts, fuel systems, superchargers, wheels and more. In addition, Harrop Performance Centre (known simply as HPC in racing circles) has its own specialist fabrication, machining and installation facility in Preston, Australia, which works closely with race teams and automotive manufacturers.
In the 4×4 world, Harrop are perhaps best known for their partnership with Eaton in bringing the ELocker to the aftermarket. Whilst this product was once a main dealer only option on new 4×4 models, Harrop and Eaton have refined the product range to the point where it can be installed easily as an aftermarket upgrade, for vehicles which were not supplied with factory electromagnetic differential lockers from new.
Many commercial and adventure users favour ELockers over other types of differential locker as they are a standalone product with a simple 12v power feed and do not require an air compressor or other external hardware to operate. This means easy installation, little or no maintenance, and the possibility of fixing the connection in the field if for instance the feed wire were to become damaged in completion use.
4×4 Works are proud to be the UK’s largest and best known Harrop partner in the 4×4 market. We have an in-depth understanding of the product range and can assist with both end user and commercial or industrial product applications. A Harrop Eaton ELocker is such a useful off-road accessory and can mean the difference between being stuck in the mud or being able to continue the adventure.
