Typical applications

Releasing semi-automatic twistlocks on vessel and yard stacks from deck level; container terminal lashing operations.

Description

A semi-automatic twistlock has to be released from below once the container above it is to be lifted. The operating rod does that from deck level: hook the rod onto the twistlock toggle and pull. Three lengths cover the practical stack — 1 800 mm for tier one to two, 4 700 mm for tier two to three, and 7 300 mm for tier three to four — keeping the lashing gang off ladders and out of the stack.
