Semi-automatic twistlock

EC-SATL-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.

Description

Built to speed up load and unload cycles, this twistlock locks itself as soon as a container is set down and is freed by pulling its toggle, whose position also tells the crane operator whether it's ready to lift. It's forged or cast from ZG270-500 steel and hot-dip galvanised against corrosion. A double-toggle variant is also available. Several models are kept in stock, with the specific SKU confirmed at quotation, and every version fits ISO 1161 corner castings on standard 20 ft and 40 ft containers.
