  • Four variant SKUs: 45° and 55°, each single and double
  • Once installed, should not be relocated
Typical applications

Ship decks; temporary container placements (control rooms, modular buildings); repeated installation/removal applications without a permanent twistlock.

Description

A weldable socket that pairs with the dovetail twistlock, so a container can be set down and lifted off the same point repeatedly without leaving a twistlock permanently in place. The setout drawing alongside gives the pitches for the single and the double transversal arrangement, together with the weld preparation for the 45° and 55° faces.
