An adapter(50) is provided for adapting a wide-body container(10) to be supported upon a set of container supports(40) spaced at a pre-established standard width narrower than the width of the container. The adapter(50) includes a generally rectangular casting(52) having a plurality of apertures(54,56). Mounting means for moveably mounting the casting to a wide-body container so as to permit deployment of the adapter below the container includes a first pivot assembly(58) unitary with the casting, a second pivot assembly(60) adapted to be fixed to the container, and pin means(62) for engaging the first and second pivot assemblies to define an axis about which the adapter may pivot. A bearing(64) movably coupled to the casting carries a rod(68), the rod having an elongated head(70) forming a twistlock adapted to pass through one of the apertures in the casting. Means(74) is provided for biasing the bearing toward a position wholly within the casting. |
