Cushion-Lok TWisTLoCk - Type WCI 1058
The Cushion-Lok Twistlock has been designed to secure ISO and special containers to rigid vehicles
and trailer chassis. Special polymer pads reduce the metal-to-metal contact between the corner fitting
and twistlock, thereby reducing the shock and vibration together with noise.
This Twistlock offers the user the following important advantages:

• Reduce shock, vibration and noise, ideal for transporting sensitive loads.
and durability.
• Securing head remains permanently proud of the deck for loading
containers in the shortest possible time.
• Screwdown feature provides extra security.
• Third lock prevents accidental unscrewing of the handnut, an
additional safety feature.

Twistlock in load position without container, handle
facing outward.
1. Fully unscrew handnut.
3. Turn handle 90° until index engaged.
4. Fully tighten handnut.
5. Lower pin between handnut spokes.
To Unlock ©
1. Lift pin clear of handnut spokes.

2. Unscrew handnut.
3. Raise head and turn handle 90o until index is
engaged and handle is facing outward.
5. Turn handle 90o to left or right.
6. Tighten up handnut.
