Horizontal twistlock

EC-HTL-01
3D model on request

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.

Description

Engaging the oval side opening of the ISO corner casting, this twistlock either joins containers in line so they handle as one 12 m unit, or provides a structural mounting point. Just two units couple containers end to end; four are recommended for a rigid side-by-side arrangement. It's available in flanged, lifting-eye and cable-stay-anchor variants to suit whatever the connection calls for, and fits ISO 1161 corner castings on standard 20 ft and 40 ft containers.
