Dovetail twistlock
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.

The breech twistlock fitted with a D-ring in place of the plain head — the same bottom-entry locking mechanism, with a lashing and tie-down point built in.

| Material | Heat treatable steel — same specification as the dovetail twistlock |
|---|---|
| Load Rating (SWL) | SWL 250 kN tension / 210 kN shear / 1000 kN compression (breech mechanism) — MBL 500 kN / 420 kN / 2000 kN |
| Finish / Coating | Hot dip galvanised |
Load ratings are as published in the TLA 2026 catalogue. Site-specific ratings and certification: on request.
Space-constrained container securing where a lashing point is also required at the same position; marine and shore applications combining securing and tie-down.
Where the securing position also has to serve as a lashing point, the D-ring derivative replaces the plain breech head with an integral D-ring. Everything below the head is unchanged — the same bottom-entry mechanism, the same left- and right-locking options, and the same requirement to pair with a matching breech base, deck recess or cast foundation.

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.
