Twist Lock

A twist lock is a mechanical device used in the shipping and logistics industry to secure cargo containers on ships, trucks, and railcars. It is an essential component that ensures the containers remain firmly locked in place during transportation to prevent shifting, tilting, or falling.

Starhive’s commitment to quality, and innovation, is reflected in our diverse range of twist lock solutions. Whether you require standard locks for routine container handling or specialized options for unique cargo, Starhive is your trusted partner.

They are available in various types, including Dovetail, Intermediate, and Semi-automatic.

A dovetail twist lock typically consists of a threaded screw mechanism that can be manually turned to engage or disengage the device. When engaged, it securely fastens the container’s corner casting (a standardized structural component on containers) to the ship’s deck, truck chassis, or railcar. This action ensures that the container remains firmly locked in place during transportation, preventing shifting, tilting, or falling.
An intermediate twist lock is a mechanical device used in the shipping and logistics industry to secure cargo containers during transportation on ships, trucks, and railcars. It is part of the system that ensures containers are firmly locked in place and prevents them from shifting, tilting, or falling during transit.
A semi-automatic twist lock is a mechanical device used in the shipping and logistics industry to secure cargo containers on ships, trucks, and railcars. It is designed to offer a balance between efficiency and security.
