A twistlock and corner casting together form a standardised rotating connector for securing shipping containers. The primary uses are for locking a container into place on container ship, semi-trailer truck or railway container train; and for lifting of the containers by container cranes and sidelifters. The maximum size and position of the holes in the connector is defined in international standard ISO 1161:1984.

abstract
  • A twistlock and corner casting together form a standardised rotating connector for securing shipping containers. The primary uses are for locking a container into place on container ship, semi-trailer truck or railway container train; and for lifting of the containers by container cranes and sidelifters. The female part of the connector is the ××41⁄2in(×× mm) corner casting fitted to the container itself, and which has no moving parts, only an oval hole in the bottom. The hole is a in (mm) diameter circle with two flat sides in (mm) apart. The male component is the twistlock, which is fitted to cranes and transport bases. This can be inserted through the hole (it is roughly in/mm long and in/mm wide), and then the top portion (normally pointed to make insertion easier) is rotated 90° so that it cannot be withdrawn. The mechanism is the same as that of a Kensington lock used on laptops and portable devices, but on a much larger scale. The maximum size and position of the holes in the connector is defined in international standard ISO 1161:1984.
