| CONTAINER CASTERS (AC49000A-2PA AND UP) |
Tandemloc Container Casters are designed to rigidly clamp to ISO 1161
Corner Fittings, commonly found on Intermodal Freight Containers and many Military Shelters , generator
set-ups and communication vans . Once installed, they provide an efficient way of mobilizing at low speeds
(non-highway use). The common uses are moving containers in and out of a facility for
maintenance, alterations, upfits or for complexing and loading shelters. Towbars are also
available and these fit the end hole of the corner fitting. The Container Casters are very rugged products,
available in a wide range of capacities and wheel types for different surfaces. The pneumatic casters are
recommended for uneven surfaces or when floor damage is a concern. All casters are swivel type with a swivel
lock, locking at 90° increments. This offers the user the most flexibility by allowing all to swivel for tight
turns or to lock two (rear) if desired when towing. Rigid casters are available but are not kept in stock.

These casters use a swivel with
a swivel locking feature. To order a rigid caster, add -R to
the end of a part number (example: AC49000A-2PA-R) |
| |
• |
All the casters have an
operating temperature of (-40°F to 120°F). |
|
• |
The Twistlock, wheel mount and axle are
steel. See the chart for material of the wheels. |
|
• |
For use in ISO 1161 steel corner
fittings as normally used on standard freight containers or
similar constructions. |
|
|
|
Cautions: |
| 1. |
When placing or
removing casters from corners, use a fork truck, as
shown below, to raise or lower the Casterloc. Personnel
are to stand clear of adjacent areas to avoid injury if
accidentally dropped. |
| 2. |
Casters can allow loads
to move on unlevel surface & crush personnel. Lock
swivel casters in towing direction & chock before
detaching tow vehicle. When towing, swivels on tow end
should be unlocked after connecting tow vehicle & before
starting tow. |

| Installing into standard ISO
containers with ISO 1161 corner fittings at
corners: |
| 1. |
Lift container per international standard
(ISO) 3874 or other means so that the bottom
surface of the corner fittings are about 40"
above the rolling surface. |
| 2. |
With a fork lift truck raise the unlocked
Casterloc into the bottom hole of each corner
fitting & activate the twist lock with its
handle. Before lowering the container, adjust
the clamping stud to tighten connection ( 50 to
125 ft/ lb.) Notice - tightening must be done
before lowering. |
| 3. |
When all four Casterlocs are tight, lower
the container to the level rolling surface. |
| 4. |
The container may be raised a second time &
retightened to the same torque after "settling",
if desired.
|
| Operation: |
| 1. |
Moving standard freight containers on casters
differs from moving containers on a chassis because
the caster connection has less horizontal structural
strength. For this reason, the speed of movement
must be slower and the surface on which the caster
rolls, must be reasonably smooth. Excessive forces
in a horizontal direction can cause failure. For
this reason, speed shall not exceed the limit shown
for each caster. |
| 2. |
Moving heavy containers on casters requires that
its movement always be under control for direction
and braking on both level and unlevel surfaces. A
towing vehicle with tow bars affixed to the forward
bottom corners is the optimum method of moving &
braking. Personnel should remain clear of the roll
path to prevent injury. Sufficient personnel should
be utilized for good visibility.
|
|
|
Important note:
Lifting and handling ISO freight containers should be done
by qualified personnel familiar with ISO standard 3874. This
standard is available from the International Standards
Organization (in the U.S.A.; American National Standards
Institute (ANSI)). |
