OPERATION/INSTALLATION OF BRIDGE LOCKS
Bridge locks are connecting devices that utilize the top openings in the ISO corner blocks. These are an
enhancement to the connection of the two containers and are designed to be used strictly during ground
transportation. Bridge Locks should be installed whenever the ASLMS is to be transported on the
HEMTT, M1076 PLS trailer, container transport trailer, flat bed trailer, etc. Bridge Locks must be removed
and stored in the container before hand-off for maritime transportation, aerial port C-130 transport or
stacking.
CAUTION
Bridge lock connectors are used in conjunction with horizontal interconnectors for loading
and ground transportation, and must be removed for aerial port C-130 transport, stacking,
or for maritime shipping, to meet container width and height requirements of ISO
certification standards.
The bridge lock has two 2 1/8-inch nuts. The nut in the center is the adjuster nut and opens/closes the
locks. The other is the jam nut and secures the locks in position after the adjuster nut has been
tightened.
