Being a lift operator myself, sometimes its fairly easy to turn the lock while trying to put the container on, especially on an older chassis that the locks will turn on if you barely touch it. If it took him a minute the he more than likely turned the lock and didn't see it. If I turn it myself, I'll be more than happy to get down and turn it back straight if I can't fix it with the container.

so when your putting the container on the chassis your turn it somehow?

Yes, it's done by the lift operator honking his horn enough until the driver gets out of his truck and then the operator gestures in a vague manner and pointing in a vague direction, hoping the driver will pick up on the clues given and turn the locks. [emoji4]

Yes. Depending on the type of twistlock on the chassis, it can be fairly easy. Some locks turn just by any slight bump with the container, especially older KKLZ's.

Kline chassis are kinda turning into junk, they all have at least one tire that's dry rotting
