I assume, that the original name for a twistlock is kock. For sure, it can be confused with cock. So the word has no influence in the english language. ~~Jörg Lietmeyer~~ I think the word is used in the netherlands, too. ~~Jörg Lietmeyer~~ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.184.5.154 ( talk) 19:03, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
Do containers have twist locks on their upper corners? What is a container which is stacked on or above another container locked to? -- 174.234.79.20 ( talk) 15:30, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
What about such fasteners on clothing, e.g. File:Beavertail Wetsuit.jpg? -- AVRS ( talk) 10:31, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
Is there a mechanism that prevents the twisting part from untwisting? If so, how does that work? Danielx ( talk) 05:16, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
The article does not describe how the locking head is rotated. There must presumably be tools or mechanisms to do this, and they must engage the locking head in some manner. Could somebody add a clear explanation, preferably with a good line diagram or photo? Reify-tech ( talk) 12:57, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
Looking back through his talk page, Dovid appears to be one of those editors who jumped straight into reviewing and the bureaucratic side of Wikipedia without actually having any aptitude for communicating information. He isn't going to be around for very long with responses like that and Wikipedia doesn't need more people like him. How is the head turned, when the container is in the middle of a 3x3 stack? - Ashley Pomeroy ( talk) 20:16, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
The load capacities quoted are incorrect. The tensile Minimum Breaking Load is 500 kN and the Shear Minimum Breaking Load is 420 kN. Compressive capacity is estimated in US National Institute of Standards and Technology Report 6557 - Strength Evaluation of Connectors for Intermodal Containers. That report finds a minimum capacity for being compression loaded and still being operable of 445 kN Subsea ( talk) 20:24, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
The book The Box has a diagram of the all-important patent 3,027,025 on page 189. ---- MountVic127 ( talk) 06:03, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
The first mention of the Twistlock is on page 74. ---- MountVic127 ( talk) 06:07, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
