EC-DVTL-xx (see variants)A weldable dovetail twistlock for fixing containers to structures, or structures to containers, in 45° and 55° angles with standard left-hand and on-request right-hand configurations.
First developed for securing containers to ship decks with a matching dovetail slipper, this weldable connector now covers any job where a container needs fixing to a structure, or a structure to a container. Its low-profile casting keeps clearance to a minimum, and handle position gives a clear locked/unlocked check at a glance. It's cast from ZG270-500 steel and hot-dip galvanised. Left-hand is the standard configuration; right-hand is available on request with a 6–8 week lead time. Four variant part numbers cover 45° and 55° angles in both left-hand and right-hand form.
Container-to-deck securing on ships and ashore; container-to-structure or structure-to-container connections; combined with a dovetail slipper for removable installations.

This manual double-ended twistlock locks ISO corner castings together for safe vertical stacking. Throw the hand lever from side to side to lock or release, with lever position giving a clear locked/unlocked indication.
EC-DMTL-01
This semi-automatic twistlock engages the moment one container lands on another, so crews only need to pull a toggle to release it — a fast, at-a-glance way to keep ship turnaround moving.
EC-SATL-01
Built for the busiest terminals, this fully automatic twistlock locks itself when containers stack and releases on lift — no operator needed anywhere near the stack.
EC-FATL-01
This horizontal twistlock couples two 20 ft containers end to end into a single 12 m unit, or side by side, and doubles as a fixing point for walkways, masts and other structures on the corner casting's side aperture.
