This Twistlock offers the following important advantages:
- A.A.R. & TUV Approved
- Simply fitted to vehicle/chassis, usually by welding.
- Weldable cast steel body and forged steel stem to ensure rugged strength and durability.
- Securing head retracts below deck level to allow the carriage of non-containerized loads.
- Head can be engaged with container in position, and advantage to swop-body builders.
- Optional third lock prevents accidental unscrewing of handnut, as an additional safety feature. (BLR 148/RS3 only)
Note: This twistlock is NOT recommended for tipping applications. (See BLR 149 NRS 3HTS .)
