Key features of the container twist locks
Set of 4 — ready to use
Each purchase includes a complete set of 4 container twist locks. As a result, you have everything you need to secure all four corners of a stacked container in one order. No additional hardware is required.
High-quality cast steel construction
Every twist lock is built from high-quality cast steel. Therefore, it handles the structural demands of stacking fully loaded containers without deforming or failing under load. The cast steel construction provides long-lasting reliability in demanding environments.
Galvanised finish — rust resistant
The galvanised coating protects the cast steel from rust and corrosion. Furthermore, this makes the twist locks suitable for outdoor storage yards, port environments, and coastal locations where moisture exposure is high.
Manual lever operation
Each twist lock is operated manually using a lever. As a result, no tools or specialist equipment are required to lock or unlock the stack. The lever mechanism is straightforward to operate and allows fast connection and release on site.
ISO container compatible
These twist locks are designed for use with standard ISO shipping containers. They fit the corner castings of all standard 20ft and 40ft ISO containers. Moreover, they are suitable for use in both permanent storage stacks and temporary stacking arrangements.
Applications for container twist locks
Container stacking on storage yards
Storage yards and container depots use twist locks to safely secure stacked containers. The locks prevent containers from shifting or toppling in high winds and during loading and unloading operations. Furthermore, they meet standard site safety requirements for stacked container storage.
Port and logistics operations
Ports, freight terminals, and logistics operators use container twist locks to secure container stacks during handling and storage. The galvanised finish resists corrosion in marine port environments. As a result, the locks maintain their integrity and reliability over long service periods.
Construction and mining sites
Construction and mining sites that stack containers for storage or accommodation use twist locks to keep stacks secure. Furthermore, the manual lever operation means site workers can lock and unlock stacks quickly without specialist tools or training.
Container modifications and conversions
Builders converting stacked containers into multi-level structures use twist locks to connect the container levels securely. The cast steel construction handles the structural loads involved in container building projects. Additionally, the ISO-compatible design works with all standard container corner castings.
