Automation for old task

Fitting or removing twistlocks on containers, a slow and arduous operation action performed worldwide over a billion times a year, can now be done by an electro-hydraulic machine – the RAM PinSmart Automated Twistlock Handling Machine.

During loading, the stevedore places a twistlock at each corner handling module: the container can then be lowered onto the machine for automatic fitting. Each corner handling module is capable of handling a wide range of twistlocks through the use of specially designed attachments.
