This range of Twistlocks has been designed to secure ISO and special containers to rigid vehicles, trailer chassis and rail wagons in environmental conditions ranging from tropical to sub-zero.
This Twistlock offers the following important advantages:
- 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.
- Third lock prevents accidental unscrewing of handnut, an additional safety feature. (BLR 148/RS3 only)
NB not recommended for tipping applications. See BLR 149 NRS 3HTS
A.A.R. & TUV Approved Type BLR 148/RS
