The BC-G2 B Lockable stacking cone for shipping containers is a robust, twist-in stacking solution designed for safe and secure container handling. Made from heavy-duty galvanised steel, this stacking cone fits directly into ISO container corner castings and features a twist lock mechanism with a spring loaded trigger for added security. Once inserted, it twists into place, locking firmly, and can only be released by pressing the small spring loaded trigger. This mechanism prevents accidental dislodgement during stacking, storage, or transport.

This lockable stacking cone is ideal for secure container stacking in shipping yards and depots, providing reliable alignment and stability with minimal effort and maximum safety. It is well-suited for intermodal freight transport and supports both long term and temporary container storage. It also plays a crucial role in industrial and construction site logistics, where safe and efficient stacking solutions are essential.

Lockable cone specifications:

Model: BC-G2 B Lockable stacking cone
Material: Galvanised steel
Compatibility: Standard ISO corner castings
Locking Type: Twist lock with spring loaded trigger
Dimensions: 116mm (L) x 110mm (W) x 117mm (H)
Weight: 2.5 kg each
Finish: Hot-dip galvanised
Load Capacity: Rated for up to 25T (static vertical load)

How to use:

1. Insert: Drop the stacking cone into the lower container’s corner casting.

2. Twist: Rotate the cone to lock it securely into place. The internal mechanism will automatically engage.

3. Stack: Lower the upper container so that its corner casting fits directly over the cone.

4. Check: Ensure the cone is properly seated and fully locked in position at all four corners.

5. Release: To remove, press the spring loaded trigger and twist the cone in the opposite direction to unlock.
