Looks like an Abus Container "padlock" off the top of my head. but I could be WAY off.

OK my bad its a Chubb Hercules not an Abus

In the padlocks section, I was thinking of the Abus Plus locking system, my bad.

I thought it was one of those Abloy locks they use on vending machines over here.

[JackNco]

they might do all it does is stick a bolt through a couple of eye links. but its deffinatly a chubb

[greyman]

Yep - Chubb (Hercules). It uses the AVA mechanism. There's surely some other posts on LP101 about AVA.

Han Feys articles about Abloy has these Chubbs pictured with a little bit off info on them and especially the AVA mechanism. I looked at your first pic and was like "Ah, Chubb Hercules, the AVA mechanism"
