Container buildings needing a services gap; cable trays, pipework, walkways and plant below the upper container; exposed, wind-loaded multi-container structures.
The vertical spacer sets a uniform gap between two stacked containers, so that cable trays, pipework, walkways and plant can be installed below the upper container. One spacer is fitted at each corner and locks to the lower container's corner casting; 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. Made to order in heights from 400 mm to 1000 mm in 100 mm steps.

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 twistlock — locks automatically when the upper container is landed, so no one locks it at height; released by pulling the release wire, by hand or with an unlocking pole. Single-wire and double-toggle patterns.
Stacking cones — a low-cost alternative to manual twistlocks for locating and stacking containers corner-to-corner; single, dummy, side-by-side, transverse and quad, in locally fabricated and imported options.
