Key Features
- Armoured steel body: The anvil design encloses the shackle on three sides. As a result, bolt cutters cannot get purchase on the shackle at all.
- Revolving hardened shackle: The shackle rotates freely under attack. Therefore, a hacksaw blade cannot cut through it — it simply spins.
- Anti-saw pin: A hardened steel pin inside the shackle channel defeats saw attacks that bypass the rotation.
- 5 pin precision tumbler: The mechanism resists picking and manipulation. Moreover, 1,500 key variations reduce the risk of duplicate keys opening your lock.
- Keyed alike: We supply any quantity keyed to a single key. In addition, this eliminates key management issues across multi-container sites.
- 10 year guarantee: Built for long-term outdoor use in the Australian climate — sun, salt air, and heavy rain included.
Security Engineering Explained
Anvil body design
A standard padlock exposes the shackle on all sides. The anvil design wraps armoured steel around the shackle loop. As a result, there is no gap for bolt cutters to grip — the most common method of padlock attack.
Revolving shackle
When a hacksaw blade contacts the shackle, the shackle rotates. Therefore, the blade cannot bite into the steel surface. This feature alone defeats the majority of opportunistic cutting attacks.
Anti-saw hardened pin
Additionally, a hardened pin sits inside the shackle channel. If the shackle is held still, the pin contacts the blade and stops the cut from progressing. The combination of rotation and the pin makes sawing through this lock impractical.
5 pin tumbler mechanism
The precision 5 pin tumbler resists picking, raking, and bump key attacks. Moreover, 1,500 key variations across the range mean the lock cannot be opened by a key purchased from the same brand without a matching cut.
Common Applications
Shipping container lockboxes
This padlock is sized to fit the lockbox fitted to all standard shipping containers and modified units. The lockbox itself protects the padlock body — together, they form a two-layer security system. Containers certified to the ISO 1496-1 freight container standard use this lockbox configuration as the primary door security method.
Site storage and tool containers
Construction and civil contractors use this lock on site storage containers. Furthermore, the 10 year guarantee means it performs through the full lifecycle of a long-term project without replacement.
Fleet and multi-container operations
Logistics operators, transport companies, and storage businesses use the keyed-alike option to run a single key across every container in the fleet. As a result, drivers and site staff carry one key rather than one per unit.
Self-storage and yard security
Self-storage operators fit this padlock to customer container bays. The professional security class meets the standard required by most commercial property insurance policies for portable storage units.
If you are looking to upgrade the security of a converted container, explore our modified container range — all units ship with a lockbox fitted as standard.
Keyed Alike — Fleet Ordering
We supply this padlock keyed alike in any quantity. Therefore, one key opens every lock in your order. This suits:
- Container yards with multiple storage bays
- Transport fleets needing a single driver key
- Construction sites with multiple tool containers
- Self-storage operators managing customer access
