Product Overview

The Tension Pressure Element Bulkhead is a high-strength marine fitting designed for container securing and support systems on vessels and offshore platforms.

Container lashing equipment of tension pressure elements refer to the process of firmly attaching cargo to the structure using various fasteners. The common purpose of fasteners is to establish a reliable and secure connection between two objects. They are available in a variety of shapes, sizes, and materials.

Screws are one of the most common fasteners, available in both standard and metric sizes. Materials used for manufacturing screws include steel, brass, aluminum, and plastic. They are typically used to connect metal components or secure wooden parts.

OLIPORTS high-quality shipping container twist locks meet international standards and undergo rigorous testing to guarantee optimal performance even in the harshest environments. Whether you’re looking for standard models or heavy-duty solutions, we provide reliable container locking devices for all your cargo transportation needs.​

Working Principle

During vessel operation, the stacked containers generate vertical and horizontal forces.

The Tension Pressure Element Bulkhead functions as a force transmission bridge, transferring loads evenly between the container foundation and the ship’s bulkhead.

Toothed slots provide multiple locking positions for adjustment.

The central key block ensures accurate alignment and prevents movement.

The component transfers compression downward and resists tension and vibration during ship motion.

This ensures safe, stable, and long-lasting container stacking on vessels.
