K08A00A Vertical Clamp Connector (VI-SO)

Hot-dipped galvanized slack-free clamping connector for ISO 1161 corner fittings, used to secure containers to ships' decks, pallets, chassis or other containers.

The VI-SO enters the large bottom aperture of a standard ISO 1161 corner fitting and clamps down on the inside of the bottom wall, removing slack between fitting and connector. It is used to tightly secure ISO 668 containers to structures such as ships' decks, special pallets, overhead beams, foundations, chassis or other containers. Tandemloc designs and manufactures its equipment at its Havelock, North Carolina facility, where products are proof tested in-house.
