twistlocks

Twistlocks are specialized devices used to secure shipping containers to each other and to the cargo ship or truck. They consist of a locking mechanism that fits into the container’s corner fittings, allowing them to be twisted into place to ensure stability during transportation. When properly engaged, twistlocks prevent containers from shifting, falling, or sliding off during transit, providing a safe and efficient way to stack and handle large amounts of cargo. Their design allows for quick locking and unlocking, facilitating rapid loading and unloading while maintaining the integrity of the stacked containers.
