Abstract
The present invention pertains to a platform having a front trestle that is designed for the handling of containers. This platform includes four ISO Standard corner fittings. The platform includes at its rear tiltable extension arms which selectively provide two rear twist locks on the platform, these in combination with two twist locks on the front of the platform provides a total of four twist locks. Because the rear twist locks can be rotated to a rearward operating position, the platform can receive an ISO type container regardless of the thickness of the trestle. When the rear twist locks are rotated to a forward retracted position, generally shaped containers can be handled as well. With this arrangement, the tiltable arms and their twist locks cannot be separated from the platform and can therefore not be lost.
