What are these latches called? 2

[Barry1492]

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

They are called toggle clamps or toggle latchs.

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.
