Shipping Containers Blog

Often our customers want to stack shipping containers on top of one another in order to maximise the available space for storage.

Whilst empty steel containers are perfectly safe to have stacked without any additional securement, if they are being used to store items or,say, as an office/showroom combination the containers need to be held together.

Twist locks are inserted into the corner ISO blocks and therefore attach the containers safely together.  Obviously four are required between two containers in order to do this safely.  Indeed these twist locks are often used to secure shipping containers to the lorries that transport them - so that should give you an idea of how effective they are!
