Breech twistlock & base

TLA-ANC-BRTL-01 · base TLA-ANC-BRBASE-01
3D on request

Bottom-entry breech twistlock for securing ISO containers from below in space-constrained situations; vibration and storm resistant. Supplied with its matching breech base — the round-foundation plate the twistlock locks into.

Features
  • Bottom-entry design suits sites where there is no clearance beside the container
  • Available in left or right locking configuration
  • Breech base is the mating half — weld or cast into the deck or foundation
  • D-Ring breech derivative available — see the following page
Typical applications

Space-constrained container securing where containers are already placed directly adjacent; marine and shore stacking applications.

Description

Designed for locations where there is no working space beside the container — typically because an adjacent container is already in place — the breech twistlock locks from below rather than from the side. It is available in left- or right-locking configuration and is always used with its matching breech base: a round foundation plate, welded or cast into the deck, slab or steel structure, that the twistlock engages from underneath. The base carries its own SKU and is ordered alongside the twistlock, one per securing point.
