Container-to-deck securing (ships and shore); container-to-structure or structure-to-container connections; combined with a dovetail slipper for removable installations.
Description
Originally developed for securing containers to ship decks when used with a matching dovetail slipper, the dovetail twistlock has become a general-purpose weldable connector wherever a container needs to be fixed to a structure, or a structure fixed to a container. Handle position acts as a visual locked/unlocked indicator, and the low-profile casting keeps clearance to a minimum. Cast from ZG270-500 steel and hot-dip galvanised. Left-hand is the standard configuration; right-hand is available on request with a 6–8 week lead time. The SKU shown is the general category reference — 45° and 55°, left-hand and right-hand, each carry their own SKU.
