What are these latches called?

What are these latches called?

(OP)
What are these latches called.  You find them on heavy duty steel shipping cases (bigger than a trunk, smaller than a car).  They have triangular shaped handles and some sort of hook...I believe.

Look at page 10 on this link:

In any case, where can I find them?

Also, I'm looking for more links with containers like this one.

Thanks - Barry

RE: What are these latches called?

In the US, call Hartwell Corporation at (714)993-4200.  They do a lot with specialty latches for the military.  They can probably provide you with the hardware and a contact for the container.

Barry1492,

You might also want to check out De-Sta-Co and Southco.  Both companies have a broad range of offerings in the latch and clamp areas.
