Boltable twistlock — ABD-D1

TLA-ANC-BOLT-D1
Video3D on request

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.

This footprint is one of several. See the footprints we have already built — the 200 × 200, 200 × 280 and 250 × 270 plates are available cast or fabricated.

Features
  • Single-casting chassis — 45° dovetail geometry on a bolt-down base plate
  • Left-hand (ABD-D1/L) and right-hand (ABD-D1/R) versions
  • Bolts to concrete or steel — no on-site welding of the container
  • Fabricated boltable variants on other base plates are covered on the next page
Typical applications

Permanent concrete foundations for containers; bolting to steel structures; container buildings and site offices; installations where on-site welding is not permissible.

Description

The ABD-D1 is the bolted-on member of the dovetail family: one casting, 45° dovetail geometry, mounted on a 16 mm base plate that bolts down to a concrete foundation or a steel structure. Because it is the same casting and the same heat-treatable steel as the standard dovetail twistlock, it carries the same 250 kN tension / 210 kN shear safe working load. Supplied hot-dip galvanised, in left-hand and right-hand versions. Where a different base-plate footprint or bolt pattern is needed, the fabricated boltable range on the following page covers those configurations.
