There are different methods for using a HALO to control container or cabin orientation. The example in this photograph shows a HALO which is set on top of an existing ISO lifting frame. However, the HALO can be built with it’s own frame, and either use ISO pocket auto locks, which can be radio remote controlled, or pad eye locks, or our patented SPEAR and Catcher system. Whichever method is chosen, they all result in a complete hands free solution, which is also faster to connect, move, position and disconnect these loads, either at a work site, or dock side.
