Container buildings needing a services gap; cable-tray, pipework and plant installation below the top container; exposed, wind-loaded multi-container structures.
The spacer locks to the lower container's corner castings; the upper container is then secured on top with standard double-ended manual or semi-automatic twistlocks, giving a rigid connection suited to exposed, wind-loaded installations. The clear gap makes room for cable trays, pipework, walkways and plant. Optional lugs, gussets and brackets are added to suit the design. Compatible with all ISO 1161 corner castings on standard 20 ft and 40 ft containers.

◇ Technical drawing — included in the datasheet above.
Manual double-ended twistlock — the industry-standard connector that locks ISO container corner castings together for safe vertical stacking, with a hand-thrown lever and clear locked/unlocked indication.
Semi-automatic double-ended twistlock — engages automatically as one container lands on another; pull the toggle to lock it open for the next lift, giving crane crews an at-a-glance 'ready to lift' signal.
Fully automatic twistlock — locks itself when containers are stacked and releases on lift, removing manual handling from routine cycles for the highest-throughput terminal operations.
Bridge clamp — locks the top corner castings of two side-by-side containers together horizontally, turning a row of containers into a single braced wall when used with twistlocks.
