Description

Large Split Bush – Shipping Container Spare Part

The Large Split Bush is a durable replacement plastic bushing for shipping container door lock rods, designed to ensure smooth and reliable operation of container door locking systems. Installed inside the long bearing bracket of the container door bar, this split nylon bush reduces friction, prevents metal on metal contact, and protects key door components from wear and corrosion. Manufactured from high strength nylon (PA66), the container lock split bush is resistant to moisture, salt, chemicals and extreme weather conditions, making it ideal for use on ISO shipping containers, dry containers, reefer containers and container conversions. The two piece split design allows the bush to be installed quickly around the lock rod without dismantling the door mechanism, saving time during container maintenance and repairs.

Commonly referred to as a container door split bush, lock rod plastic bushing, or shipping container lock bush, this part acts as a protective bearing that ensures the lock rods rotate smoothly while keeping the door locking mechanism aligned and stable.
