Twist lock

A twist lock is a special double pin that secures stacked containers. The pins are conic in shape and snugly fit the oval openings in the corner posts of a container. By turning the pin 90 degrees, it is secured. By securing the two pints in two containers stacked alongside or on top of each other, the containers are connected.
