Product Description
A twistlock or twist lock, together with matching corner castings, as defined in norms including ISO 1161:1984, form a standardized (rotating) connector system, for connecting and securing intermodal, and predominantly ISO-standard international shipping containers.
The primary uses are to securely stack containers, for locking them into place on a container ship, semi-trailer or rail carriage, and for lifting and handling by specific container-handling equipment, like straddle carriers, reach stackers, container-handling forklifts, sidelifters, and various types of container cranes.
Twist-locks also have to be used when stacking shorter than 40-foot containers, together with 40‑foot (12.2 m) and longer containers. Shorter than 40‑foot containers must be joined together horizontally with twist-locks, to form a rigid combined whole of 40‑foot length, to make them stackable and be able to support and be supported by an ISO standard 40- or 45‑foot container stacked underneath or above them.
