Container-Quick-Tie ®
Standard Upper/Lower Type

The rigid and force-locking container device

This is a coupling device for a rigid and
force-locking connection of two 20 ft ISO
containers of identical overall height in
longitudinal direction, such as to form
one 40 ft container unit. The coupling
device is not an integral part of the
container but may be carried in a storage
compartment in the bottom of the
container.
Features:
No structural modification required of any
existing containers, handling systems of means
of transportation.
harmonization of the variety of container
types
optimized utilization of the 20 ft containers
full exploitation of the invested capital

Little investment results in great benefit
For each 20 ft container, only two
coupling devices are required to establish
a rigid and force-locking connection. Due
to the different ISO openings of the Corner
Castings on the front side of each
container, the couplings are classified as
one upper and one lower coupling.
Further Types:
Deck, Tricon and
Top Version
with the aid of the coupling device,
it is possible to carry two 20 ft containers
as one 40 ft stowage spaces
minimization of empty container transport
the coupling device may be used for both
empty and loaded containers
(up to 30.480 kg)
quick container loading und unloading while
connected, since accessible from two sides

Preparation and Fitting instructions

1. Containers to be coupled are to be dropped on the coupling platform or on a flat
surface (front end to front end)
2. Prior to fitting remove both strechting hammers (5+6) from the threaded bar (4)
3. Affix Quick-Tie without stretching hammers with the magnets to the frontside of the
respective corner casting.
IMPORTANT: Secure the top version by turning the stretching hammer with at least
three turns to the threaded bar.
4. Move containers together and insert the stretching hammers (5+6)
through the side aperture of the corner castings by using the fitting
tool. (prior to that remove the stretching hammer out of
the top version)
5. Turn the quick action piece (3) until both stretching hammers (5+6)
are in a horizontal position and smooth affixed at the insides of the
front corner castings.
Put in the safety bolt (8) in one of the openings (10) of the quick action piece (rigid connection)

Upon correct completition of the coupling process the safety bolt (8) of the top devices

shows to the bottom - and the safety bolt of the bottom devices shows to the top.
Threads and bearings have to be greased carefully!
