Midlock — automatic fixing cone
EC-MIDL-01
An automatic fixing cone that locks the corner castings of two containers stowed side by side, closing the gap between stacks so a whole bay moves as one block under a rolling sea.
Description
Sitting between the corner castings of two containers stowed side by side, this cone locks them to each other so a bay of stacks resists rolling as a single block rather than as independent columns. It engages automatically on landing, keeping operators clear of the stack, and is rated to the same 250 kN tension and 210 kN shear as the semi-automatic twistlock range it works alongside.
Features
- Automatic fixing — engages as the container lands, no operator at the stack
- Locks adjacent stacks together across the gap between bays
- Same 250/210 kN rating as the semi-automatic twistlock range
- Classification-society approved — GL, BV and CCS
Where it is used
Side-by-side container stowage on vessel decks and in holds; rail wagon stowage where adjacent stacks must act together.
