Permanent container anchoring on concrete foundations; anti-uplift (wind resistance); anti-theft at remote sites; recommended minimum 2 opposite corners, 4 corners for maximum security.
Developed by Twistlock Africa specifically for anchoring an already-landed container to a concrete slab, this twistlock is primarily a wind-uplift safeguard and secondarily a theft deterrent — the anchoring makes it materially harder to lift the container away. Its design lets the Hilti chemical anchor rod be installed after the twistlock is already seated, with a through-hole allowing adjustment once the anchor is in. Supplied in sets of 2 or 4; kit pricing brings the cost per anchoring point down. Requires a Hilti M20 × 240 mm anchor rod and chemical anchor — see Hilti anchor rods & chemical anchor. Two derivatives are stocked, each with its own SKU: the locally manufactured unit and an imported equivalent.

Weldable dovetail twistlock for securing containers to structures or structures to containers; available in 45° and 55° configurations, left-hand (standard) and right-hand options.

Forged D-ring welded to a dovetail plate that slides into a dovetail slipper, giving a rated, removable lashing point wherever a slipper is already installed.

Weldable dovetail slipper (45° and 55°, single and double) providing a permanent socket for matching dovetail twistlocks, allowing containers to be repeatedly mounted and removed without a permanent twistlock.

ABD-D1 bolted-on dovetail twistlock — a single-casting chassis on a 16 mm base plate that bolts to a concrete foundation or steel structure, securing a container with no permanent modification to the container itself.
