Connect, lock, release
Fully automatic twistlock
EC-FATL-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.
Description
For high-volume handling where speed and safety both matter, this twistlock engages the corner castings automatically as containers land and disengages the moment they're lifted, keeping people clear of the stack throughout. It's forged or cast from ZG270-500 carbon steel and hot-dip galvanised for reliable service in salt-laden air. Stock levels can vary, so lead time is worth confirming at order. It fits ISO 1161 corner castings on standard 20 ft and 40 ft containers.
Features
- Self-engages on stacking, self-releases on lifting
- No operator required at the stack
- Hot-dip galvanised carbon steel for corrosive, salt-laden environments
- Fits all ISO 1161 corner castings, 20 ft and 40 ft containers
Where it is used
High-throughput container terminals; automated and semi-automated stacking systems where manual locking isn't practical.
