The Single Dovetail Plate is a steel connector used for fixing devices or track components. The Single Dovetail Plate with a 55° angle is a high-strength steel connecting component, featuring a 55° dovetail angle design. It is widely applied in scenarios such as container bases, ship deck fixing systems, and the foundation installation of track equipment. Its unique dovetail structure can precisely match the corresponding guide rails or bases, enabling safe and reliable mechanical fixation as well as quick assembly and disassembly.

In addition to the common 55° angle, our Single Dovetail Plates can also be processed into other angles according to different application requirements, so as to match the corresponding base guide rails or special structural parts.

If you need a Single Dovetail Plate with an angle other than 55°, you can provide the following information for custom processing:

  • The angle of the guide rail or relevant drawings;
  • The application scenario and load-bearing requirements;
  • Requirements for surface treatment (such as hot-dip galvanizing, electro-galvanizing, spray coating, etc.);
  • The number of matching bolt holes and their distribution dimensions.

Compact, durable, and fully ISO-compliant, this fitting is essential for standardized container lashing and securing systems on modern vessels.

Key Features

Note: Applied to container base, ship deck fixing system, rail equipment foundation installation, etc.

  • 55° Dovetail Angle Design: Provides stronger pull-out resistance and lateral displacement resistance, ensuring stable locking even under vibration or impact conditions.
  • Single-Sided Structure: Simplifies the installation process, suitable for scenarios with limited space or where only one side is operable.
  • High-Strength Steel: Usually made of hot-rolled carbon steel or alloy steel, with optional surface treatments such as galvanizing, painting or hot-dip galvanizing for corrosion resistance and fatigue resistance.
  • Multiple Specifications Available: Can be used with guide rails or foundation bases of different sizes to meet diverse project requirements.
  • Strong Compatibility: Suitable for standard ISO container locking systems and compatible with common basic guide rail designs.

Applications

Ship Deck Container Locking System: The single dovetail plate, used in conjunction with the corresponding dovetail guide rail, enables quick locking and unlocking of the container base, ensuring safety during transportation and operational efficiency.

Crane Foundation Track Fixing Structure: The single dovetail plate is used to firmly lock the track to the concrete foundation or steel structure base, resisting high-frequency vibrations and impact loads generated during the operation of lifting equipment.

Installation of anchoring points for port equipment

Container Flatbed Truck and Transfer Platform Fixing System: By installing dovetail bases and single dovetail plates, rapid container locking and unlocking can be achieved, improving logistics efficiency while ensuring transportation safety.

Used for The Foundation of Modular Assembly of Industrial Equipment: It enables quick positioning and high-strength locking, suitable for scenarios where equipment is frequently replaced or modularly deployed.

Multi-Purpose Vessels (MPP) and Heavy Transport Vessels (HTV): used for securing large, heavy or irregularly shaped cargoes that require lashing points in non-levelled areas.
