Purchasing Tips
- First confirm the “target stacking tier” (e.g., 3rd to 4th tier), and directly select the corresponding number of rods by referring to the “Stacking Tier & Part Configuration Table” without additional calculations.
- Choose the matching head style according to the existing container twistlock type (e.g., 1 Wire Twistlock, Semi Automatic Twistlock, etc.), or contact customer service to customize a special head.
- If the standard length (2000mm) rod cannot meet the demand, you can directly contact us for the customized length—other length options are available to support personalized adaptation.
- You can purchase an appropriate amount of spare rods and head parts during procurement to facilitate subsequent emergency replacement and improve operational continuity.
Combination with Other Fittings
To ensure a complete and efficient container securing system, the Semi Automatic Twistlock Operating Rod can be used together with the following related accessories. These complementary fittings are designed to enhance safety, convenience, and compatibility across different container handling operations.
- Semi-Automatic Twistlock: Used together with the operating rod for quick locking and unlocking between container corner castings. Ideal for stacking and lashing operations on vessels and terminals.
- Manual Twistlock: A simple, cost-effective locking solution for lower container tiers or non-automated environments.
- Bridge Fitting: Provides a secure connection between two adjacent containers on deck, maintaining stability during vessel movement.
- Lashing Bar: Used to connect twistlocks and turnbuckles, ensuring containers remain fixed under dynamic loads.
- Turnbuckle (Bottlescrew): Adjusts and tightens the tension of lashing bars to maintain secure load restraint.
All accessories are available in standard ISO and DNV-certified versions, and can be customized to meet specific marine or port operation requirements. Combining these fittings with the operating rod system creates a complete and reliable container securing solution for both ship and yard applications.
