Operating rods

EC-ROD-18 / -47 / -73

Long-reach rods that release semi-automatic twistlocks from deck level, in three lengths covering tiers one through four, so a lashing gang can work the whole stack without climbing it.

Description

A semi-automatic twistlock has to be released from below before the container above it can be lifted. The operating rod does that from deck level: hook the rod onto the twistlock toggle and pull. Three lengths cover the practical stack — 1 800 mm for tier one to two, 4 700 mm for tier two to three, and 7 300 mm for tier three to four — keeping the lashing gang off ladders and out of the stack.

Features

  • Three lengths cover tiers one through four from deck level
  • Releases semi-automatic twistlocks without working at height
  • Each length is stocked as its own item
  • Matched to our semi-automatic twistlock range

Where it is used
