<p>An articulated trailer (20) for transporting a freight container (40) has a fixed kingpin (29) and two sets of twist-locks (2, 3, 27). A first set of twist-lock (3, 27) is for engagement with a standard European 13.6m container (40). A second set of twist-locks (2, 27) is for engagement with a standard U.S. 45 foot container (50). Dual twist-lock assemblies (1) are mounted at a front end of the trailer (20), each having a pair of twist-locks (2, 3). The relative spacing of the twist-locks (2, 3) in each dual twist-lock assembly (1) and the positioning of the dual twist-lock assemblies (1) on the trailer relative to the kingpin is such as to accommodate both types of container whilst meeting transport regulations. <IMAGE></p> |
