Dovetail twistlock slipper

EC-DVSL-xx (see variants)
3D model on request

A weldable dovetail slipper in 45° and 55°, single and double, giving a permanent socket so a container can be mounted and lifted off the same spot repeatedly without a twistlock left in place.

Description

This weldable socket pairs with the dovetail twistlock so a container can be set down and removed from the same point again and again, without leaving a twistlock permanently fitted. It follows the standard setout for the single and double transversal arrangements, matching the 45° and 55° weld faces used across the dovetail range.

Features

  • Fit slippers in opposite directions to stop the container sliding out
  • Double slipper suits two adjacent containers mounted side by side
  • Ideal wherever a container is mounted temporarily and repeatedly — modular control rooms, for example
  • Four variants: 45° and 55°, each single and double
  • Not designed to be relocated once installed

Where it is used

Ship decks; temporary container placements such as control rooms and modular buildings; repeated installation and removal without a permanent twistlock.
